The app fits what I am looking for!

I’m lovin’ this app so far, just into it for a week. I was tracking most of my diet info in a spreadsheet prior and I really like the ease and availability of the food selections and their specs along with their crisp, easy to read presentation, nice Job! I switch between the web app while at my computer and I really like the graphs to see where I’m at. Just started to look through what’s offered in premium and I would definitely pay for these features as I finely tune my usage and become proficient with it, but honestly I think your sweet spot right now is between $2.99 and $3.99 per month. Bigger and more graphs on the mobile and web app would be great! Until people like myself get enough time to use and appreciate the app and assess its value, your higher price is a psychological hurdle, at least for me. I’ve learned to trust my gut in app purchases and the fact that I did not jump in immediately confirms that. I’ll certainly have more feedback as I get into it further. Overall, I think you guys are on the right track with a really nice app and I’m anxious to see what’s coming next!

Great app & preferred over myfitness pal

I enjoy the layout & design of the app. I love that it doesn’t bother me too much or shame me when I don’t track calories or log a workout(?) That was an issue I found with myfitnesspal. The online forums also seem a bit more active and encouraging on this app. The app design is simple & to the point. Nutritional facts are seemingly on point. Not a hard app to figure out at all & they have a broad range of food options and choices. I’ve only found it hard to find nutritional info for obscure Asian snacks. In that case, I try to track for something comparable and factor in calories from the packaging to match my food diary. I love the weigh-in function and the data charts available. You are also not inundated by ads and not at risk of accidentally pressing on an ad and opening a new webpage so that’s a big win for me! Great app, I would highly recommend to anyone who just wants to keep an easy and accurate food diary. Whatever your fitness or weight loss goals, this is a great app in general to aid those goals.

Love it

I love using fatsecret. The diary and logs and support from other users is excellent and so helpful in my weightless journey. Love the fact that you can set your own macros and calories or have it calculated for you. Tracking is mostly easy and the library of foods is extensive. That being said I noticed sometimes, not all the time, they are a little off. For example my protein I use has 3 grams sugar and when I scan the barcode the app says 0 sugar. So for people who are needing to be exact on their counts you need to just double check that they have it correctly in the system. Also, when you get notifications that someone has responded to your diary log you have to go through some steps to get to the exact message. I wish the notification center would take you directly to the message for easy reply or viewing. Only other complaint is that you have to use the online version to change your profile picture and get access to certain features but that isn't a deal breaker for me. The app does everything you need it to. Other than that I love this app and will continue using it.

Comprehensive weight loss app that's easy to use!

This is the best weight loss app ever. I have used a few others but they do not compare. You can customize what you want to track, whether carbs, protein, fat etc. It also gives you the full nutritional breakdown of your meals, including salt and cholesterol percentages which is awesome. The recipes are fantastic and you can even participate in community conversations with fellow app users for those that want support. Adding food/recognizing label codes are super easy to do. My 5 stars are more like 4.5 stars. I took off half a star because a few times the barcode reader can be a bit off when scanning items. exp...The label may say 10 carbs or calories etc, but what is registered may be a higher or lower number. So at the end of the day your total count may be off by a few digits. Not sure if it is the fault of the app or the barcode. Either way, it is a mild nuisance that doesn't occur often enough to be problematic. With that being said, the app is awesome and I 100% recommend it.

Better than expected

Having type 2 diabetes, I used to use the “Diabetes In Check” app, which included specific features for diabetics. Even then, when entering some new food item I always went to the Fat Secret web site to look up nutrition information.


When that prior app finally broke down due to lack of support my obvious next choice was this Fat Secret app — which should have been my first choice years ago — especially since I had long ago stopped using the prior app’s diabetes-specific features.


I do wish this Fat Secret app did a better job with the Search function, specifically by prioritizing search hits from recently eaten foods, most eaten foods, and saved meals rather than only going back to its huge selection in the cloud. But that’s nit-picking, and maybe I should just save every meal instead of ones I enjoy almost weekly, so I’m not taking away any stars for that.

App Inaccuracies

The app has things like general common vegetables: kale, tomatoes, zucchini, etc where your calorie and carb count is definitely a lot different than that of other apps. This makes it difficult to track the carbs and protein in our meal. It would be great for general items like that if you added the ability to change the size of the general tomato by ounce and adjust calories proportionally.. Instead, we are tied to a medium tomato with XYZ calories... It would be best to take the general calorie averages of all brands of tomatoes and then add them in that way..


There is no place to put Sugar Alcohols, therefor your Net Carb counts are often wrong. This does not bode well for users who are on the Keto Diet or Atkins Diet who are watching their carb counts. It would be great if you can add this line item in the nutrition section or give us the ability to revise carb and calorie counts for known foods.


I cannot add new exercises and commit them to the App Memory.. I do Fitwall Classes, which are a growing trend in the west. Their classes burn 500 calories for a 40 minute class. I have to unfortunately add this class in as a custom exercise every day and it is time consuming.

Good, but...

I have been using the app for two weeks now, primarily the diet diary function. I appreciate the wide variety of options when I search for a particular food. However, the app freezes while I'm searching and adding foods during almost every meal entry. Any items that I have "saved" are lost. I have to fully close the app, re-open, and re-enter lost items for that meal. It's frustrating. Also, I took off a star of the horrible, tacky name "FatSecret". What kind of name is that? Is the app calling users fat? Is the app a secret cure to fatness? It sounds unprofessional.

Finally, there are issues with the customized daily caloric intake. In settings, I altered the standard 2000 calorie preset. But, the diary homepage does not register the change unless I go into settings and then navigate back to the diary. To be clear, the customized caloric intake shows on the settings page, but the diary does not get the message unless I navigate to settings and back. I have to do that every. single. time. I'm using the free version, but it's a low blow to make the free version buggy just so I'm tempted to pay for the subscription.

Developer Response ,

Hi maria,


If I understand your first point correctly, it's that your recently eaten foods are not being populated? We had a defect in that part of the app which was fixed for 8.0.2 - if you update to that version it should correct the issue.


We will investigate the issue with the RDI edits not updating to the diary. Thank you for pointing this out. In the meantime can you send us an email to contact@fatsecret.com and let us know which version of iOS you are using, and the model of iphone you have (mark it to my attention).


For what it's worth, we don't intentionally make the free version buggy to encourage people to upgrade. There's just a lot of really old code in there that has degraded over time (we're always working to improve it, we just don't have a big team so can't always fix everything).

Fatphobic as it gets!

When starting out with this app, it’ll prompt you your goals (weight gain or loss & how much you’d like to gain or lose) & physical attributes (height, current weight, activity levels, etc.). Being extremely underweight like I am, I was excited to see a health app offer weight gain as an option. However, EVERYTHING on the app stays set to weight loss despite what you put in as your goal. It’ll send you notifications like “You only need 400 calories to power yourself through!” as if you’re trying to barely survive. The actual calorie counter has a daily meter for how much you’ve consumed of your daily goal. It fills up green, then when it’s full it turns red. Consuming enough or extra calories is a GOOD thing when you’re trying to gain weight, but this meter depicts the opposite. It even goes as far as to mess with your public profile & state that you’re there for weight loss despite the goal weight clearly being a higher number than the starting weight. I don’t see the purpose of offering “weight gain” as an option when the entire app’s layout is permanently fixed on a weight loss routine. It’s extremely discouraging & fatphobic.

Developer Response ,

Appreciate the feedback and yes we do need to do a better job with folks like you looking to gain, our apologies. We do allow members to set virtually any goal for calories and other nutrients. We hope that in time we can better meet your needs and welcome any more feedback at contact@fatsecret.com


Best regards,

Can’t get past the name 🤦‍♀️

It’s a pretty good app in all, I would like an option not to add ALL nutritional info, just calories (as seen on my fitness pal) because it provides a faster and easier option for many users, but the biggest block for me is that name... I previously used my fitness pal and had no problems keeping it on my home screen for everyone to see and I needed it there because I used it often and wanted quick and easy access to it, but having an app with “fat” in the name on my home screen is embarrassing in all honesty. It was my biggest issue when I was looking into the app and I don’t know if I’ll keep it at this point. I wish the developers would see common sense and rename the app to a more positive, normal name that focuses on more than just fat. I mean, think about what that does to the user. Each time they open the app they feel like they’re reaching toward a goal, but never reaching it. In other words, it makes me feel like I’m fat when I know I’m not. It discourages me and is off-putting, but more than anything it’s just frustrating that someone would make such a great app and name it something so humiliating.

Great app for tracking dietary goals

Whether you are looking to monitor calorie intake, or carb/fat/protein, this is a great app. I’ve used it several times over the past 5-6 years, this time to track carbs. Also charts weight over time so you can track your progress. You can enter you foods by using the phone camera to scan the barcode, and most things I scan are in their database.


One minor annoyance is that recently eaten foods only shows foods for the given category (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks) so if I have a protein bar for breakfast one day and then as a snack the next, it doesn’t appear in recently eaten foods so you have to find it and scan it again. Also, I seem to have lost data since the last time I used it a little over a year ago. Not that big a deal, but I would have liked to see it to compare.


Overall it’s a nice little app and I will continue to use it.

Most comprehensive app for tracking macroe

I’ve tested 4-5 different apps to track my food and nutrient intake, including ones that cost money. FatSecret is the only one without annoying ads and is all business.


For two of the apps I paid for, including an in-app upgrade for the specific diet I’m following in one, I was still pestered with upgrade prompts and distractions. Other apps that didn’t charge were but app adapted spreadsheets with not much to show for. Not so with FatSecret.


The feature I enjoy the most is the huge crowd sourced database of common foods from grocery stores and restaurants, and the ability to add your own food that you can share with the community or keep private. The FatSecret app is just not an app, it’s a web service and I use it both from a PC/Mac, an iPad, and an iPhone.


The PC if if want to write diary entries or add food that requires a bit of typing, the iPad app (different than the iPhone app) that can scan food items and automatically add them, and the phone it’s convenient to use keeping track of what you eat on the go.


It took me a bit to get used to the interface, and certain functions could be better organized and streamlined, but at a cost of zero dollars those are insignificant minor complaints in the big scheme of things.

This APP is WONDERFUL❣️

FatSecret has not only enabled me to track my calories, fat, carbs, weight, etc., it has given me deep insight as to which foods are more nutritional than others. I am 73 and wanted to slowly lose 40 lbs. I log every bite I eat (no matter how small) + weight + exercise into this APP every day. My RDI is set for 1,400 calories per day, and this APP has enabled me to identify yummy foods that are high protein, low fat, low carbs, low sugar. With the adjustments I've made, I somehow manage to thrive on an avg of 1,200 cal or less/day, enjoy my fav foods, and I have yet to crave anything or be hungry.


There are a few tweaks needed, but overall I would give this APP 10 stars if I could. The weight is falling off me, and I'm 1/3 of the way to my goal after only a few weeks. ❤️🎉

Love the new iPad version

It makes it easy to keep track of weight and food. I can easily share the meals across to my husband who is trying to loose weight too, but I did have to search hard for that ability. This new version makes it easier to keep unusual exercises/activities so they don’t have to be entered from scratch each time. Kudos for that. It’s also easier to move back to yesterday and add what you had for dinner if you didn’t the night before. The sharing of info with HEALTH on the apple platforms is helpful since there is no blood pressure monitoring in your app. Thanks for the hard work on the app, I used to prefer the desktop (and that should be updated) but with the new version the only reason I use the desktop is to share meals with hubby.

Finally taking some pounds off with a little help from my friend

I gained weight as I aged, went through menopause, had health issues and medication that causes weight gain. It was a loosing battle. After hearing so many people tell me I don’t eat enough and that is because I am NEVER Hungary I started using the app to see exactly how much I was eating. Well my healthy choices I have always made totaled less then 600 calories a day! So now I am sure to eat three meals and two snacks I am able to get to a little less then 1000 calories per day most days. I am eating more protein and less carbs. Even being GF my carbs were too high. So I make better fruit and veggie chooses as well. That said I have lost 17 lbs in less then 2 months. Exactly 7 weeks. It is coming off slow and steady and I am so much happier. I can start to look in a mirror and look at my reflection without disgust. Love this app.

Overall very good

The layout is, for the most part, better than for MyFitnessPal. Some key things I’ve noticed is that the green layout and the way the calorie numbers are presented make me less upset when I’ve gone slightly over my calorie goals. My fitness pal makes me want to jump off the roof whenever I see that red negative bar at the top right haha. This is HUGE, because it makes tracking feel much less stressful and the overall vibe is much better this way.


The weight graphs show you a better overall view of your progress. I put in weekly weight averages and it shows me a line graph showing the transition from beginning weight to goal weight.


Another key thing is that much more options in the food diary have gram-calorie conversions than myfitnesspal, which is important if you like to weigh food on a scale like me.


Couple issues I don’t like is that they don’t allow for exact ratios, but instead organize it by quarters (so like 1 serving of chicken vs. 1.25 vs. 1.5). The nutrients section is pretty basic: just macros and sodium/potassium basically. MyFitnessPal gives you that and some vitamins as well as some minerals. A couple of times there are glitches where yesterday’s meals get put in today but it’s not super common. Not really dealbreakers in my opinion.

No Fat Boy Here ,

I was fat and it was no secret

Finally got tired of tight fitting clothes and having a closet full of stuff I had fatted out of so downloaded FatSecret and started tracking everything I put into my mouth. I wanted to lose 40 lbs in 4 months, and I am on track having lost 30lbs in 3 months.


Having a visual of your calorie intake every meal is enlightening. My goal is not to eat more than 1300 calories each day and exercise 1500 per day. The combination of calories needed to live off of each day which for me was 3000 calories and the reduction of intake and additional output gave me a calorie deficit of 12,000 to 15,000 per week which equates to 3-5 lbs of weigh loss per week. I have not averaged that but it’s a long term process. By the way this isn’t a diet. I eat whatever I want. I just stop when I hit the 1300 calorie threshold. So thumbs up to FatSecret

This Is A Good App

I’m a Muay Thai fighter/coach, and marathon/ultra marathon runner, and I downloaded this app because I was switching to a high fat, low carb diet to train for my next ultra marathon, and I just need to be a little more efficient at using fat for fuel. This app has been extremely helpful in tracking my caloric intake as well as allowing me to keep track of my macro nutrient intake. There are a ton of foods already in the app, and if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, it allows you to enter the nutritional information for the food and save it. You can also enter any exercise and how many hours you sleep any given night to show how many calories you’re burning in a day, and what your caloric intake should be depending on your goals (losing, maintaining, or gaining weight). I highly recommend this app.

Easy to use; would like to see micronutrient information

I haven’t used a lot of other food tracking apps, but I’ve really enjoyed how easy it is to use FatSecret (e.g. they list your most recently and more frequently eaten foods so you can quickly add them to your food diary). They are also responsive via email, which is really nice. Three things I really want to see: (1) a tally of all the vitamins and minerals we’ve had for the day, (2) the ability to drop a whole list of food into a recipe (like some other websites) instead of having to add ingredients one by one, and (3) the ability to add ingredients to a recipe without having to create a recipe (e.g. without always having to add steps, a description, etc. since I often make the same recipe, but tweak it & also since many of us prepare our meals instead of buying pre-packaged meals)

All nicknames were taken! ,

This app really works

I used the fat secret website years ago to lose weight but the app is much better now than the website I remember. I used weight watchers prior to switching back to fat secret. I like the nutritional information fat secret provides and their database is reasonably complete with every type of food. I wasn’t a fan of artificial points and always looked up the calorie content of the foods I ate on weight watchers.


This app is just what I need to keep on track and I don’t feel judged or bad if I have a high calorie day. I just make up the calories over a week to get centered again. I use the app on everything I eat even when I know I will go over my daily target and don’t feel bad telling it how it is. Thanks for contributing to my dietary success!

Artwaste ,

Great except....

I really enjoy this app and being able to track my calories, carbs, protein etc. the major problem I have is the app doesn’t know the difference between total carbs and net carbs. So for all you Atkins users and people like me who are blending Atkins food/snacks into our keto diet, I recommend you create your own food instead of using the search results. Otherwise the app will say you’re getting X number of carbs when you’re actually getting Y number of NET carbs. I would also like to be able to alter the stuff that automatically comes up. If you find Boar’s Head stuff, for example, you cannot alter the nutritional info. Which points you back in the direction of just creating your own custom food. Other than that this app is great!

Peeperjj ,

Newbie but love it!

I’m only a week in and I love it. You can post on other peoples journals and they on yours. You can follow and gather followers, weight checks daily if you wish, easy bar scanner, can add your own recipes in and track every single calorie to know exactly where you should cut back.


It IS time consuming at first. I spent 2 hours the first day but now I do it as I prep my food using the bar scanner and it goes much faster. I’d say maybe 2-3 minutes per meal or snack and I’ve learned where the items are in the list so less searching. Now it takes me around 15-20 minutes per day if I’m in a hurry or can journal and take longer.

Really good app for calorie intake and nutrition balance

I’ve been tracking my calories and food on this app and I love it! My doctor put me on a 1200 calorie diet to lose weight. This encourages me to eat at home more and and track my ingredients down to the brand. Some brands of things are not available so sometimes I’ll choose a standard description which is probably not off by much if any. It also helps me to discipline my eating habits. I enter in what I plan to eat before I eat it so that I know I’m not going to go over my calorie limit and to see if I am balancing out on fat, protein, and carbs. Most cases I want more protein and less fat and carbs. This app shows a chart that keeps up with this! This helps tremendously! Definitely worth the download!

Suggestion

Love the app, but have a suggestion and there wasn't an option for sending one in the app. It would be nice if we could put the time of our meals in. So you can set reminders for eating, water, or vitamins. Just setting a reminder time isn't enough because schedules change. Your wakeup time and subsequent breakfast may vary from day to day, as mine does. So setting the same reminder schedule isn't sufficient. This way you'll know when you last ate and can remind yourself to eat again at whatever duration works for you. I need to eat every 3-4 hrs or I binge. But I'll get busy and totally forget for 6, then it's a recipe for disaster. Or I don't consume all of my prepped food for the day, which is just as bad.

Worthwhile Effort for Weight Loss

I had reached a goal with the Keto Diet and wanted to find an app that would take what foods I input and give me the calories, carbs, fat and protein percentage needed to keep losing weight gradually while converting to the Mediterranean Diet. I have been very satisfied with this app as I tend to eat healthy but occasionally give myself too many “green lights”. This App has made me think about what I am eating weekly. I input my menu for the coming week over the weekend. I shop accordingly and prepare overnight breakfasts, grains, etc. ahead. I am eating more balanced and satisfying meals. I am able to see results both visually and physically and feel good while doing it. I strongly recommend this diet. Easy does it!

Excellent resource

I started using fat secret to count my sugars. As a diabetic, I have to be careful with refined sugars, carbs, and starches, and some things spoke my levels more than others. Using this tool has not only helped me figure out which foods are no-no’s for me, it’s also helped me lose weight. The menu planner counts sugars, calories, fats, etc., for me. I don’t have to think about everything. There’s a weigh in page to record weight loss progress, and even a spot to put in your own recipes for easy recall. There’s a community attached, as well- people there are helpful, make great suggestions, and just generally support one another’s journeys. Overall, I'm very impressed with this valuable (and free!!!) resource.

Best App Ever!!!

This app is amazing! It is so easy to use. I’ve lost 7lbs in 10 days. I love how easy it is to look up a variety of different foods. It is also easy to add new foods. It will even give me nutritional value and serving size for my favorite recipes. It links to my health app so I only have to update one app instead of two.


I only use the free version, but it is plenty for me. I also keep everything private and have not joined in with the large and supportive community available. I love that the app just provides information and tracks your progress. No grading or judging. It just helps you see exactly what your eating. I recommend getting a digital food scale to calculate servings.

Finally!

I LOVE this app! You can keep track of your calories without all the annoying “reminders” and other useless prompts. I read some guy’s rant on Quora about how the only “diet” that works is one where you are in a calorie deficit DAILY. A 💡 went off and since then I have been tracking my calories and try to keep below 1400. I have been very successful at this even on vacation. I scrutinize everything I put in my mouth and constantly look for healthier swaps or ways to cut back. In 11 weeks I’ve lost 14 pounds without having to kill myself with strenuous workouts. I’ve had trouble losing weight most of my adult life but now feel like I’ve beat that demon! 😊

User friendly & very helpful!

I did weight watchers for a while and I absolutely loved it. It worked well for me but I still struggled so I stopped, gained weight & realized almost a month ago that I wasn’t happy with how I looked and my blood work wasn’t where it should be for a 25 year old. I figured I would do something different and count calories instead of points and that’s when I discovered FatSecret! It’s so easy to use and navigate. You can scan barcodes and they have almost everything you could imagine. You can track your weight, track how much you’ve eaten and how many calories you have left for the day. I’ve lost 11 lbs in 3 weeks so this app is definitely worth a try.

This app is a lifesaver lol

At this point everyone knows that quarantine has affected a lot of people’s weight and for me it was weight gain. I finally decided I should start losing the pounds by “dieting” first and realized after talking to friends I don’t need to necessarily cut off certain foods completely but just eat in smaller portions. After searching up calorie trackers online, FatSecret came up, I gave it a try, and now I’m genuinely committed to my health and my goal of weight loss! I haven’t stopped using it, and keeping track of the foods I eat while interacting with others in the social part of the platform has been a great motivator for me. Get the app!!!

Better than the rest!

I have used all kinds of apps to track my weight and what I am eating, but have always returned to Fat Secret. Why? Because in every other app I had to Google the nutrient amount of each food and add it manually. Fat Secret offers the basic weight tracking and complete nutrition information, as well as a page where others share recipes and offer advise or congratulations, again without cost. If you want more tracking it’s offered as a step up, i.e. water tracking, etc. I have used Fat Secret for years and have stopped wasting money trying to find something better.

Very useful and easy to use

This app is great to be conscious of what you’re eating and exercising as well. The nutritional value of the food is calculated for you when you enter the amount you’ve eaten. It is very user-friendly, easy to use and understand. Many foods have already been entered, and you can manually enter your own recipes to learn the calorie counts and nutritional information. By being conscious of what I’m eating, I’ve been able to reduce my caloric input and I’ve lost 9 pounds so far. There is also a feature where you can connect with others for encouragement and ideas and recipes.

chosejoy ,

Good system focused on nutrients

I really appreciate the focus on protein/fat/carbs and micronutrients as well. I really appreciate that you can fully customize all of those individual pieces! Not to mention the community of people posting is so encouraging! I’m still amazed that many positive people can be connecting on an app without some Negative Nancy’s. It’s easy to use once you figure it out. (Is there a video somewhere we could watch that shows you how to access all the various features? I couldn’t find the diet calendar that shows calories in/out for awhile). All I wish we could do is scan barcodes!

Mr. Sir Dude Man Guy ,

App’s Improving, but...

Fat Secret has improved so much over the years.


One thing that still needs some attention is the custom recipe feature. The workflow is a bit disconnected.


For example... So finding the Recipes section is easy enough. (More... > Recipes). You click the + button to create your own. Cool. Once you create it and hit SAVE... your new recipe disappears without any indication or prompting as to where it went. And it’s not listed in the RECIPES list where you found the + button to create it in the first place. There’s no “My Recipes” section or anything. So where’d it go?


Well, it’s tucked in the Cookbook tab; not the Recipes list. This makes some sense, but not very intuitive.


Is it possible to provide easier, simpler access to our custom recipes *within* the recipes list without having to go through the motions of adding meals to our dairy? KEEP IT IN THE COOKBOOK tab; I’m just suggesting that it be accessible within the Recipes area as well, which is a much more intuitive go-to area for users who are looking for recipes but not looking to add a meal to their dairy. 👍🏾

No nonsense calorie counter!

Honestly, the name of this app was a little off putting but I decided to give it a shot because I just don’t like the other more popular blue app to count calories. Fat Secret is easy to use, has minimal ads, recipe calculator/cookbook, recipes, community, challenges, browser access, food photo journal that you can choose to share with the community or not, and recipes, fitness tracker, a calendar to see which days you tracked and which you didn’t! It’s full service! It even has a service for adding your health professional’s email so you can send your data to them! It’s incredible!


The best feature, by far is, is logging my meal and being able to take a picture of it. I figure if I’m at a loss for what to eat to stay in within my calories, I can scan my picture and the ingredients will be there!


I’m pretty new to the app so im still finding new features. But so far, I love it! Cheers!


Hold the phone: I just added this to my Apple Watch! And found the weight tracking graph,

Great tracker

This app is amazing… You can track all of your daily intake… See if you’re on track… It tells you how many calories and carbs are in each item individually… There’s recipes that are shared… There’s people sharing comments back-and-forth… It also connects to your active fit app… Which all together you have reports to see if you’re staying on track and it’s very easy to use. I recommend it.

I have been on the keto diet for sometime… But I do go back-and-forth because I don’t believe full keto is healthy for long term. If you can learn how to manage your food intake it works… But you must exercise

._Alex_B ,

Awesome!

FatSecret has been an app I’ve been using for 2 months now and it is extremely helpful! It helps me keep count of my calories and what I love is that you can scan the barcode of the food item and it will tell you how many calories and the name of it, it also has all the restaurants/ fast food places so if you eat at one of them, you can go under that fast food place and select the items you ate. The only thing I don’t like about this is (trigger warning) the option that tells you how many calories you had after purging, but other than that, it’s great! Definitely recommend if you’re on a diet or trying to lose weight.

Makes food tracking easy and rewarding.

This app has changed how I approach food. I know how to eat healthy but I eat too much at times and had no grip on my fiber intake. I have found real foods that I truly enjoy to snack on and it allows me to choose what food I really don’t want to let go of.

It doesn’t take much time and I look forward to using the app to see how I’m doing.

I don’t have to do it perfectly- there are no “shaming hints”, lol. There’s no ads. It a true gem that most of this app is free. I feel great if I get close to my mark or a little below. I just use it to be more responsible- not perfect. ❤️❤️❤️

It’s Free and It Works!!

I started with this App a month ago. I actually set up three Free Apps, ran all three for a week, and decided this was the most User-Friendly of them all. It is relatively easy to look up the different foods we eat, the Charts it provides are helpful and informative. It’s fairly easy to customize the amount of each food you’re using. I don’t use the Recipe section but it looks impressive. The single biggest opportunity, even though it’s a Free App, would be to allow us to choose our own week as opposed to it being Monday to Sunday; that’s a bit of a pain albeit not the end of the world. But that’s why I docked it one Star

Love the idea, hate some things.

While the plans and recipes are great, you are not allowed to access except through the App. Okay great, give me an option to download the meal plan I paid for, or the ability to copy/paste it for later. Having some ableness issues makes this difficult to use unless you’re using your IOS or google store product. Don’t say, oh get a big tablet so you can see it. I can’t afford a big enough tablet.

Being able to download, for use on my laptop, or print to be able to magnify would be a wonderful idea, especially if I’m paying for it.

Luckily, I only paid for 30days, and won’t be renewing. I’d give it a better review if it just had this ability.

Super user friendly and convenient App!

I was looking for the app to be able to count the calories intake and none was working for me. Those I’ve tried before were difficult to navigate and look for food I ate. This app is super user friendly, finds a lot of food and offers measuring in oz, grams, cups, prices, etc. It also allows you to scan a barcode and immediately returned the product you are looking for. It also offers additional meal plans for pay, which I haven’t tried but might in a later time.

I’m using this app everyday and can’t be more happy I found it.

FatSecret is a godsend

For everyone looking to chart calorie intake-review macro and micro nutrient analysis and record work out achievements-this is the tool for you. Amazing intuitiveness-reliable developer support and of course-the support of the online FatSecret community makes this tool a must have for anyone looking to improve upon their wellness. I couldn’t be more satisfied if it were free-oh wait, it is free.

Periodically-I would say very in frequently there are connectivity issues-which quickly resolve.

My cable and Internet go out more often. LOL

So stop looking at other apps-you need look no further.

Calorie Counting

I love this app, FatSecret, so easy to use . I’ve been 40lbs over weight for 10 years. I thought I could lose weight on my own by just watching my food intake and portion control, but all I have been doing is maintaining my weight, not gaining any more but not losing it either. Since using this app and actually recording my food and calories I’m a lot more aware of unnecessary snacking and actual portion sizes. I’ve lost 5 lbs in 2-1/2 weeks, not a lot so far, but I finally feel on track to permanent weight loss and then maintaining my goal weight. Thank you, I love this app.

So great and easy to use!

I’ve been so thrilled with using this app. It’s allowed me to easily track my eating throughout the day. Best of all, unlike a certain other app I had to delete eventually, FatSecret doesn’t have all of those annoying ads and hide their features away behind costly paywalls. The library of available food is constantly growing (and I love making my own contributions) and I’m happy to see my weight tracked as I continue my healthier lifestyle.


My only complaint would be the app name. Just get over that and you’ll have a powerful tool in your pocket. Have fun!

Incorrect Information

I would love to give this so a 5 star rating. It is really helpful and I use it often. But being on a strict diet I need the information to be accurate. Far to often the information listed does not match the labels on the product. Case in point today I saw a marinara sauce where the label says 8g of carbs with 3g of fiber. The app says 10g and 1g. For people using a Keto/Paleo plan, that difference is significant. If it was possible to make the changes on the app it would be a great help. Also, using homemade recipes with information available for nutrients etc, it would be great to be able to add the recipes. I haven't seen where that is possible. Those two changes would make it a 5 star app easily.

Zzzzing1 ,

Great app. The exercise calculator, not so much.

Love the app. However, the exercise calories burned calculator doesn’t do much of anything.

1) It is not very descriptive. What is moderate effort exactly

2) If you enter a custom exercise, it will save it, but you have to do the math on calories burned if you decide to use the saved exercise the next day. Example: 350 calories doing a custom exercise for an hour and the next day you do two hours. The app won’t multiply the 350 automatically like it does when calculating portions eaten. Same concept shouldn’t be that hard to add that feature especially considering the fact I’m paying for the extra features on the app

Excellent Calorie Tracker & Much More

Fat Secret has been a great app to help me lose weight by tracking not only calories but, macros by the day and week, add your own recipes, take photos of your meals, add notes to share (or not share) with others on the app, and look up recipes. I was a faithful My Fitness Pal user on and off for years until I did an update and they wanted to charge me to remove ads that I didn’t have before the update. I’m glad they did because I would have never found Fat Secret. This app is free. However, if I were to spend any money on a health app it would be this one…Fat Secret!

BAY2WI ,

Great app and it works!

I love this app. After many years, I am a Weight Watchers convert. This app tells me every calorie I am eating and how many I am burning. I had a few questions along the way, but got them answered quickly by the support staff. I do wish that when selecting portions of an item that 1/3 and 2/3 was available to select. Many recipes call for thirds and it isn’t an option. This would make an already great app an excellent app. I’m 69 and it isn’t easy to lose weight at this age, but I’ve lost 5 of the 15 pounds I want to lose using this app. This app is easy to use and addicting.

Comprehensive database and pretty easy to lookup foods

Pros: It was real easy to lookup both homemade, processed, and fast foods. I liked the reports and visuals. It was free and without intrusive ads. It was fairly easy to add foods after/during meals. Good for short term nutrition survey or maybe serious calorie counters.


Cons: while it remembered common foods, I never figured out a way to make preset “meals”, therefore I can’t even contemplate using it long term—and I’m a numbers/data junkie! Also, when I went back months later to check on calcium or magnesium intake, it didn’t track those nor most other vitamins and minerals.

Fat secrets

This app makes it really easy to search and record food items for all of your meals. It also shows the calories and serving sizes for each item, which is great because you can eat various foods and enjoy all kinds of things if you keep the serving sizes under control. The app also helps you to keep track of all your food choices so you’re not just mindlessly eating and consuming endless calories. It has in app purchase available which I don’t use the basic app is good enough to log your food journal and help you stay on track.

Zakayla33 ,

Love the App

Been using this 1-year. I prefer it over the MyFit...Pal App because there’s No ads. This app has all free goodies.

Different options to display data on your diary screen & which categories you want to add to view such as cholesterol, sodium, fat, carbs etc.

There’s reports which can be email to you in a lovely spreadsheet.

Add your weight to the oz.... so no temptation to round up or down, I like putting my exact weight to the decimal!

On diary page all on 1-screen you can view what foods you consumed with how much per meal, categories with data, macro summary % on top of screen & bottom of screen has a pie graph, breakdown of macros in % & grams plus the amount of calories consumed remaining/overate and your recommended or your RDI calorie input.

Plus if you are looking for meal plans (this has a fee) this app provides a variety of different eating lifestyle plans such as Keto, mediterranean, intermitting fasting, balanced, High protein low carb… These are only a few of the examples.

Overall

Great app for beginners, has a lot of food to log and what isn’t on the app can be inputted manually. The interaction with others through the app news feed is also a great feature to keep you on track and updated with other users. Giving only 4 stars because not all work outs/exercise can be searched and sometimes the calories tracked per exercise per minute/ hour isn’t 100% accurate so jut keep track of your calories burned when exercising and manually adjust the number according to your accurate number.

All and all great app for macros, weight loss, progress, diet, and exercise.

Not Will! But Motivation and constant Change!

This app is simply amazing I was doing a single subject research design on myself to change up my lifestyle and I must say the energy that was gain and recovered from this app assisted me with a lot with locating who I was before who I will be tomorrow and the person that will live on for decades to come being healthy because of the fat secret day this is much needed and I have recommended to over 50 to 60 people think you Fat Secret App!! Thanks to you I lost 18 pounds in a month and a half!!! I am now 10 pounds away from my future goals!

Similar to Noom

I used noom before this and it was good. I wanted to get back into that model but couldn’t afford the cost of noom, so I searched alternative options that worked similar to that but free or low cost. So glad I did, one month in I’ve lost 8 lbs and not felt hungry or deprived. I’m making yummy dinners for the family and eating everything they are. This just helps me pay attention to how much I’m consuming of those foods. My stomach has shrunk, I’m guessing, because I’m enjoying all this but not feeling like eating nearly the quantities I used to eat. Feeling lighter and satisfied.

Keeping Focus - Balance is Key

Anything new is awkward and out of rhythm. I never tracked my food closely especially every time I ate. Plus, I was very honest no cheating. Meaning I logged everything. In 7 months just by accurately knowing my cal intake versus my cal burn I always stayed at a deficit. In 7 months I lost very slowly 20lbs. This diet and my daily walking and every other day gym weight routine was an effort that paid off. I feel the best in 25 years. I’m wearing cloths again that were my favorites. Thank goodness I kept them. Oh, I’m 66 years old. Never let anyone tell you it’s too late. It’s not. :)

Dicelove ,

Lost weight using this!

This app is not only free but also user friendly. And allows or a sense of community and positive reinforcement. I lost over 100 pounds because the app makes one mindful of what’s going in and out. I’ve met wonderful encouraging people on the app as well.


Only down side, I wish there were a way to “no show” people I’m not interested in. Also I’d like to be able to search for people by user name. There is also no way of sending a message or notification to a weight loss buddy that has fallen away to encourage him/her to come back.

shen*ming ,

If you know what you’re wanting to do, this is an AWESOME tracker

If you know your calorie marks, this is a great way to enter them in and keep track. You can track exercise and weight too. There’s a bar graph for weight and you can set a target. I used Noom for about a week and that was good but I ultimately decided not to pay $25/month for it. This app is free and fantastic. A little clunky in entering Saved Meals and figuring out initially how to set your own calorie target if you don’t want to use their auto-calculated one, but you get the hang of it after a couple days. Five stars.

cheskamarie88 ,

Love this app

This app saved me from wrongfully counting calories and actually keep track of my meals . I’ve seen progress since working with this app I’ve lost 20 pounds thus far and I actually can’t thank the developers enough. Plus you can interact with people with the same goals as you and get tips from them too! Honestly I couldn’t be anymore satisfied. And yes it is free! But if you want a meal plan included you will have to pay a fee but I think it’s worth it . So yea enjoy the app and hope you discover something new within this app about yourself 😇

teresa tarr brown ,

Great but could be better.

I have been using this app through out my weight loss journey. I have kept 80 lbs off for over 5 years now. Just started keto diet recently and down 8 more lbs. I am a diabetic. This keeps track of carbs too and that’s a great help to me. The only thing I would recommend is making it easier to look up restaurant foods. By putting the restaurant and the menu item. It always takes me on a wild goose chase when I try to do this. 46 lbs to go to meet my goal. And by the way. I have not had any weight loss surgery. Trying to be healthy. Teresa Brown. I’m living proof that you can do it 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Gem in the rough

When I started my weight loss journey I downloaded this app but only used it to find the macros on select foods, using another macro tracking program for daily use. I did not realize what I had until the other program upgraded itself out of practical use. That’s another story. I started more fully exploring and LOVE this app now. The only thing I find counterintuitive is the ability to quickly add the odd food that is not listed in its extensive library. To be able to add 4 g of carbs here or a couple of grams of fat there to my intake without having to add a new food would be fabulous.

angelbabe225 ,

Best free meal tracking app I have used!

This app is far from the worst I have used. I love that it keeps track of your previously logged foods so you dont have to keep entering them.

It doesnt bother me too much, but it can get troublesome with having to enter foods manually, or finding them in the list and the calories are too high or too low from the package. I wish there was a free health app that had all the foods added by the system with accurate calorie counts i stead of foods created by individuals that may or may not be accurate. Thats my only complaint, though, and its not specific to this app!

Shawnmramos ,

Keeps me on track.

The app is really easy to learn. Never had any glitches with the app. I, on the other hand have had glitches on my diet. This helps me meal plan, keeps me on track and it makes me feel accountable for everything I put in my mouth.

I didn’t realize how wonky my sleep schedule was, until it was in my face. It has helped by seeing the numbers.

I now read labels and eat very clean. I’ve lost 111 in 7 months. I’m still going. The app has been with me every day. It will be until I reach my goal, and most likely after.

CaityQD ,

Love the community

I love this app, it had helped me lose a significant amount of weight in the past. For some reason I stopped using it and gained much of it back over the past two years. I tried using a different app (MyFitnessPal) but there were too many ads and the reminders automatically shut off if you forget to log for a few days. Anyway, I prefer FatSecret. My only suggestion would be to add an area to track measurements and store progress photos. Other than that, I love the community and simplicity of the app.

Tabotimo ,

Good variety of preselects and easy to use

I have an older iPad, so some of the fitness apps wont work with my IOS. Which ended up being a good thing, because I wouldn't have gone to this app first, but I like it better than any of the other ones I have used. I use this app primarily as a calorie counter, and it has been excellent for that. It has a user friendly set up, and a nice menu of pre entered foods to make entering my calorie counts more simple. I have had great success with it. As of today I have lost 10 1/2 pounds in about 2 months since I began using this app to help me keep myself accountable.

Kaitimk3 ,

Perfect and relatively free

This app honestly has changed my life. What FatSecret offers is free to a certain extent which is you would have to pay for using other apps. It has impacted my life in a positive way by easily allowing me to track what I eat so that I can live a healthier lifestyle. There are food plans too that come with the subscription which is honestly one of the cheaper ones which is great if your trying to save money! Overall, this is app is wonderful. Just remember to be accountable and your journey should be pleasant on the app as well

KillerWhale24680 ,

Great app, but very frustrating search function

While I have been using the app for a long time and find it very helpful, I have been consistently having difficulties searching for foods in the app, even when the same foods are easy to find on the browser website.

For example, I found an entry for Chinese Chicken Fingers on the website, but try as hard as I might, I couldn’t for the life of me find that food in the app. I copied the name, used identical keywords, looked by brand, everything, but it just doesn’t pop up.


I’ve had many other similar issues before; sometimes if I enter two or three words, the results that pop up will only be relevant to one of them (for example; if I type in “mcdonald’s fries”, all of the results are just different varieties of generic fries, none of which pertain to McDonald’s, despite the fact that I know McDonald’s fries are listed in the database).


This has made it very difficult at certain times, and has occurred ever since I first started using the app some two years ago.

B3ntzer ,

Happy with my purchase (FREE)

I am happy to finally have found an app to track my food for free. I am tired of all the fitness apps that require a payment for every separate section of the app, these people are not interested in the wellbeing of their users but I do not feel the way with Fat Secret. The food diary is extremely user friendly and helps me see more than just the amount of calories I’m taking in. I also see the proteins the fats, carbs, sugars, etc. all for free. I’ve lost 13 pounds of purely stubborn fat and I attribute a lot of that towards this app.

CFD1978 ,

Frustrating some days

I use this app regularly. Today I would like to pitch it in my backyard pond. It is made for people who buy items at the store and use them in recipes. I have congestive heart failure, so I Keep sodium intake to less than 2000mg per day. I have entered many recipes over the years. One of them is for breakfast sausage. I wanted to use this sausage in another recipe, but could not because it is a recipe not a food. I had to enter it as a food before I could use it in another recipe. Why not just pull my recipes over as foods so I don’t have to do double entry.


You will get a lot of benefit from using this program and your will have much frustration,

Mona here! ,

Life saving!

This app has helped me to be more aware of what I eat. I had gained 10 pounds after I moved to Italy and I couldn’t really figure out why! One might think because of all the pasta and carbohydrates but no! Not me! I hardly ever eat pasta or pizza. So, I would starve myself and eat off fruit only more or less! Little did I know, fruit was my enemy 🤪 As soon as I started counting calories and having a more balanced diet, I realized how high-calorie some fruit could be. I haven’t lost much yet (only 3pounds in 3 weeks) but I know it’s working. Thank you Fat Secret team!

Count your calories

Hi! I am on my 4th week using the app after neglecting it for two years! Keep calories low log meals and exercise. Watch you graph go down y’all! I have lost 7.8 pounds in three weeks. I’m pairing my low 1,000 calorie diet with Shaun T. Transform 20 and I’m getting such quick results. You can set easy goals that are attainable. My first goal is to lose 30 lbs then I will try to lose 20 more! It’s so so easy to log with this app. Plus I pair my beachbody workouts to the app so that my exercise is automatically logged from my Apple Watch!

Menú planner recipes poor quality

I have only used the free part of the app less than a week. It is ok. I subscribed to the meal planner yesterday. I thought it would give me some good ideas for meals and recipes. The recipes are not well written. I wonder if they were just submitted by users and not proofed. They leave out ingredients that are then mentioned in the directions. Or they include ingredients on the list but give no directions on how to incorpora te them in the recipe. The units of ingredients are sometimes ambiguous or not easily measured. I think I saw one as “one unit” of a 2 pound package of chicken. So this bonus feature may be useful but don’t subscribe for the recipes.

behrsden ,

FLGirl

I’d like to give this app 5 stars but either I am doing something wrong or the feature to add a recipe and FIND it isn’t working. I reached a level of frustration having entered three recipes. As I enter them I save the pages or sections that ask me to...I review it when I’m done and then hit save again (because it asks you to) and the recipe goes away as though the process is complete.


Logic would tell me to search for my recipe and select it so that I can account for it as part of my day...however none of my recipes are there! Where are they? Is this feature broken? Thanks

PSemones ,

WTH!

It took me fifteen ten minutes to enter two breakfast items. I just wanted to add two eggs for breakfast, a list of eggs as long as my arm popped up. The same with butter, and wheat bread nothing matched. I attempted to add the bread but I couldn’t figure out how. Why does it have to be so agonizing to do this. I wanted something that would help and make it easier but I will use my food log I started because it takes me about twenty minutes to do a whole day. I would have to get up two hours early to do this app. This should help but it doesn’t. I thought when I read the reviews people were being dramatic, but I understand now...skinny people did this app while they where laughing at fat people. Thanks

biggerfishy ,

Excellent

This app is very good. And since it is free it moves to the excellent category. The interface is easy to understand. It’s similar to the WW app. I like the weight graph and nutrition data. Meal entry is a nice feature. The database of food is smaller then WW app. And when I’ve added things, it hasn’t always been easy to find them again. I also don’t like the following other people interface, but I didn’t like this on WW either. Overall, hard to beat the value for cost/ad ratio. I haven’t tried any of the meal plans.

Senbluto ,

Good way to better fitness levels!

I walk 20-25 miles a week, row(ed) 15k a week, and even fit in some dumbbell workouts [Since it’s now spring, I’ve switched from indoor rowing to cycling]. But…my weight hadn’t budged from the high 240s.


However, since I started consistently using this app, I’ve dropped a few pounds in just two days’ time. It really makes a difference when you see how many calories you’ve consumed in comparison to what you’ve expended.


Really good app for those of us who find body weight to be our nemesis!

MedTech CEO ,

The perfect app for managing your diet!!!

I have used this app for the past four months to track my caloric intake and macros. It is so easy to enter the foods you eat, and it has helped me understand exactly how I am feeding my body. I focus mostly on protein intake, and the fats and carbohydrates naturally show up with the addition of fruits and vegetables. It also helps when deciding whether or not to add pleasure calories like beer and ice cream. There is no substitute for tracking what you eat, and FatSecret is the perfect tool to make this an easy part of your daily routine!

Queen Nefertoni' ,

This is the one!!

Absolutely LOVE this app! I had been looking for an all inclusive app where I could input my weight along with the foods that I’m eating, and it be able to calculate my macros along with the calories remaining for the day. And that is what this app does. It also has more updates choices of food to pick from as well. For instance, when I eat out at different places, it has the information for those products as well for me to add into my food diary. And all of these features are FREE!! I absolutely love this app!

UserSinceSpring2014 ,

Really like, but can't add friends

I like this app a lot because you can do all of the normal ways of searching for food (that is: search with words, search with barcode, search with picture, add in manually, etc.). This app also gives you the macros which a lot of other apps don't do (or don't do for free). The one problem I have is that I cannot find anyway to add my boyfriend so that we can view each other's logs. I've tried so many things and I've Googled how to but I can't find it. I don't think it exists and I want it so bad!! Please add! Then this app would be perfect.

Great App for Weightloss

I am using this app to count calories in my weightloss journey. I have been very impressed with all of the info available and how this app works. There is a large database of foods including many restaurants. You can take a photo of a barcode and see the nutrition Info right on your screen. I tried out many apps before deciding this is the best one. I highly recommend this app if you want help keeping up with your calorie intake. I am using the free version and it has everything I need.

CAonfoot ,

Comprehensive food tracker

I wanted to go Keto and needed help tracking my macros. There are so many catalogued foods including popular brands it makes completing a food diary so easy. The reports & visual graphs are cool to track components. You can save meals for future input, recent entries are visible in search and Im pretty sure you can enter new foods- I just haven’t done that yet. I reduced 1 star because sometimes navigation within the day is awkward. I end ip opening the search when I want to open & my entries to edit them; however, this could be needing to learn how to use the app better.

ihatetypingnicknames837472919 ,

Good for counting calories but

This is a great app to use for counting calories and seeing macro breakdown, and keeping track of weight. I have been able to add foods and it usually memorizes them. I can’t understand the menu or meal function. I wanted to input my own recipes for meals and have it save but couldn’t figure out how to do it. I also wish it was easier to add raw foods in different measurements, for example a plain red bell pepper in all measurements from tbsp to a cup. There are no listings for plain regular foods like vegetables/fruits in multiple measurements. I think the UI could be made simpler.

rcfotr ,

Great app

I have been using this app on and off for the last 3 years. It is so easy to use, great visuals, which makes it easy to track macros throughout the day. You can share food logs, which displays into a spreadsheet, so it super easy to hold yourself accountable by emailing food logs to a health coach, friend, etc. It also has an endless list of foods in its data base. I think only 1 time this year I had to manually enter in a food - rest of the time, scan barcode and there it is. If all this doesn’t get better - it’s free!

Billyboy36 ,

Simple and useful

I’ve tried seven or eight different diet tracking apps. They all seemed over complicated and difficult to navigate for a gen-X guy anyway. My buddy is a personal trainer and recommend Myfatsecret app to track macros and calories... I found that it was easy to use, simple and easy to understand and navigate. I have lost 20 lbs so far using the app to adjust my meals... if I find a certain meal has too many carbs I simply adjust the amount until I get the macros balanced out... great tool easy to use

fat secret foodie ,

Stays with me

I have used fat secret off and on for at least five years. I find it’s easy to look up foods and exercise to plot my daily plan. What has been most helpful is the “saved meal” feature for meals I eat on a regular basis. Even after not using the app for a few years, my saved meals were still available. I only use the app when I am actively trying to lose weight, but it’s a great way to get back on track when I have been left to my own devices for awhile.

tercestaf ,

FatSecret

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

FINALLY an app that allows you to chose the diet you want to follow, and provides a method of tracking calories, gives recommended percentages of fat, protein, and carbohydrates to consume/ macros with keto, etc….without a charge! I used Calorie Count before it was removed and LOVED it. Everything else I have used involves a fee…I follow the balanced diet and have been most successful with it…it eliminates no food groups and is the most realistic eating plan long term, IMO. Thank you for providing this service!

Tabbernathy ,

So useful

“Eat reasonably and move” made painless. I have found the FatSecret app so effective. Before using the app I had no idea how much I was eating. Now I just choose my food from the extensive list and it gives me an idea about appropriate portions. I haven’t deprived myself of foods that I want, just allowed myself the portion size that fits into my daily calorie intake and with light physical activity, I’m really losing weight in a sustainable way. It’s the two week mark, and my pants fit better. It’s encouraging and sustainable for me.

Meal Plans Ads

I hate what are essentially advertisements for the in-app meal plans at the top of the Diary every time I open it. I know that bar can be collapsed easily enough but it’s obnoxious. I even tried joining one of the plans and it still showed up.


Overall this is still my favorite calorie app compared to all the others I’ve tried in terms of accuracy and function. Especially love the macros pie chart and the customizable columns that display data for every meal.


Less important but still worth noting - the green and grey color scheme is hideous and outdated.

RedheadedCyclone ,

Simple, mostly easy to use, have recommended to my friends

I have been using this app for about 15 days now. For the most part, I find it easy to use and simple enough to not be a bother but also gives you more in-depth information.


The thing that I have the most issue with is that it is set up for someone who eats at restaurants. It does not have listings for those of us, who should be in the majority, who are eating from home. I have had to make some educated guesstimates As to which restaurant cooks as clean as we do for calorie content.

Baywind Guy ,

Essential component

I’ve gained 25 pounds over the last 2 years while being treated for cancer. I’m determined to lose it all. Fat Secret plays an essential part. It’s much more comprehensive than a few years ago, providing meal plans for many types of diets. And, you can look up virtually any type of food either for planning ahead or archiving to your history.


The stuff we eat far more affects the outcome of a weight loss plan than exercise. Gotta stay in control. Fat Secret accomplishes that.

Label diabetics ,

LOVE the app BUT

I’ve had this app for years and it’s so amazing, but for some odd reason they decided to make a change and mess it all up! When I go back to recently eaten for breakfast I now see foods that I usually have for lunch/dinner/snacks and it’s very annoying. I liked the old version where my recently eaten for breakfast was only breakfast foods. You can see it on most eaten section but if I have something occasionally it won’t show so it takes longer to scroll through all of my recently eaten foods. Wish they’d go back to the old version!

The 40's, am I right? ,

It’s working!

I turned 40 and my metabolism has changed. I’ve gained some weight even though I am vegetarian and eat relatively health. Apparently I am just eating too much for my slowing metabolism. This app has helped me track my calories and helps me stay accountable. I am more aware and conscious of mu choices now. I still get to eat what I want, but am making healthier choices and watching portions. I’ve tried several apps and this one has done the trick. I like the visual graphs, the weigh ins and the fact that it counts calories for me so I don’t have to do the math.

Easy and convenient to use

Of all the calorie and nutrition apps I’ve tried I like this one the best. It’s easy to set up, easy to record and edit your food intake, easy to understand layout. You can easily print a detailed report of your progress. If the item you ate isn’t already in the database you can easily scan the upc and add it. You can easily see your nutrition intake by meal or by day. Carbs, protein, fat etc. Added bonus you can link your Fitbit to track your activity level.

Very helpful app

Been using this app for years now and it’s helped tremendously. Lost 55 pounds the first time and put a few back on recently when my dad passed. I monitored my intake again closely and have lost another 20.


The app just makes it easier. I haven’t found out how to edit the calorie count on foods. Products are sometimes updated buy the producers or restaurants. Also, some items that are on the website are not found in the app.


Still the best app I’ve found.

Great resource and self tracking tool!

I found this app several years ago and found it useful but stopped using it until I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes a few weeks ago. I found it again and it has improved and is helping me stay up with my carb tracking and weight loss. The only problem I see is that the food search results (and restaurants too) aren’t in alpha order and if there are errors in the nutrition entries I see no way to correct them. But I’m adjusting and it still is a fabulous tool!!

Jude 536 ,

Comprehensive tracking

I just opened this app and am comparing it with another one that I’m not sure I’m going to keep. So far, it’s great at giving comprehensive information. I’m getting used to the interface.

The one thing that is difficult is adding food to your daily meals. I frequently have less than the portion listed for the food. I might use a teaspoon of something rather than a portion or I might have a half serving. It seems as if there are few foods that are generic or homemade. It would be great if you could adjust amounts and choose generic sandwiches or salads.

I will review again after a month.

So Close to Greatness!

I've been a daily use of MyFitnessPal for 3 years and it's helped me lose almost 20% of my body weight. However, it's become more unstable and hasn't modernized the platform since the day I started using it.


FatSecret seems to be a wonderful alternative, with one exception, it doesn't read weight measurements from the Apple Health Kit, you can only manually enter them. My Withings smart scale automatically records my daily weight when I step on it and it gets recorded in MyFitnessPal. Why does FatSecret require you to manually enter it???


Fix that and this app is a 5-star MyFitnessPal killer I'm happy to pay for!

im a little crazy😱 ,

Creators of this App, PLEASE read this:

You only have the option to change from one meal to another on the lunch option.

In other words, if I ate something for dinner and wanted to eat leftovers for lunch, previously I could pull up ‘recently eaten on dinner,’ and change it to lunch. I can’t do that anymore. Well, I can pull up lunch and change it, but not breakfast, dinner or snacks. Please allow me to change throughout.

PLEASE. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼


The new update makes changing the amount of food too confusing. I think the prior version was so much better. I’m hoping that others voice this same opinion and the old version comes back.

#NOThappy

On side note, overall, I truly enjoy your app. I like it much better than MFP. This update is very disappointing, however.

IN ADDITION, you took away the feature to pull something up and then change it to another meal. Say you are eating leftovers for lunch... you used to be able to go to the recently eaten dinner, then change it to lunch without reentering everything. Why would you take that feature away???

Do NOT like this update. 😡😡😡

Ptmholmes ,

Works for the self-motivated

The struggle with this app, like MFP, is discipline about taking the time to log everything. I moved from MFP because FatSecret doesn’t have ads and constant upselling, but the logging system is just a little less smooth. In any case, worth the move simply for the more beautiful UI. I haven’t gotten to the many social features within this app yet since I’m (secret) still as soft as rotten fruit. But once I get ripped, catch me taking bicep selfies and promoting protein powder on FatSecret. Minus one star because I still only look like Hugh Jackman from the neck up.

WhitneyPJ ,

Better than my fitness pal

Just downloaded this app and am already in love. This app is way better than my fitness pal and cheaper. Fat secret makes it super easy to track your meals and type in desired goals. You can even track your macros and set goals for your specific food category. Worried it won’t have your meal? Don’t! This app has a ton of options and even has an option for you to add the meal manually. So happy I tried this app! I promise this app won’t disappoint.

MommaKat73 ,

Easy to use

There are great people on here. No judgement, work at your own pace and easy to use the app. I have rarely found a brand or a good product they do not already have the exact portion and amount of calories already figured out. All you have to do is tell it what you ate. No more trying to figure it out. Or measuring portions! It even has restaurants so you can figure out what you are going to eat before you go. I would definitely recommend this app.

randyharris ,

Awesome tool to track your diet, nice with the social feed as well.

This app rolls everything into a great package. Tracking your weight has nice charts and is visual. Tracking foods is very simple you can search for items create your own items and menus. Very easy tracks all the macro nutrients very well. If you’re trying to lose your weight or just keep track of what you’re eating this is a fantastic app for it. The social feed is a very nice touch as well and as a bit of community to it.

MrMovember ,

Best calorie tracking app with a few shortcomings

1. The calorie calculations are not accurate. I just ignore them and do the calculations in a separate medium. Sometimes they are way off. Please check that.

2. It would be great if you allowed me to create my own categories under food diary. I eat 6 meals per day on average so I can use breakfast, lunch and dinner but there’s this snack/other in which I’m forced to throw everything else. Plus I don’t like being confined to these names. I number my meals so you could provide breakfast lunch dinner as the default categories but allow me to change the names and add more. I like to specifically track my meals before and after workout so I want to name them accordingly.


Otherwise this is a fantastic app. I love the graphs and the ability to set daily calorie intake to override the global calorie intake.


Great work.

Livright 2016 ,

Impressive interface with iPhone health

I just downloaded this app yesterday and am very happy that it syncs with Apple’s health data app. I use the Apple Watch to track calories. I logged my food yesterday for the first time in this app and noticed my calories burned for the day was posted at the top of my daily food log. How cool is that! I deducted one star because I had to manually input some foods for example Shari’s Berries did not turn up any results but MyFitness app had all the Shari’s Berries products. This may become easier as users build the data base.

mdp1010 ,

Finally something that works for me!

This app works for me because it allows me to track carbs easily. I type in what I eat (or want to eat) and immediately I know if that is a good choice for me. It includes brand name foods so you can find foods from Trader Joe’s and Wegmans.

I have the app on my phone which means that it is available to me all day whether I am at home, work, or out at a restaurant. It takes seconds to add your info. That is very little effort and provides you with great info.

Moon mash ,

Great tracking tool for weigh loss

This app is a great tool to track weight loss. The only downside is that if you are on a specific diet that requires you to calculate off the nutrition label, it doesn’t automatically do it for you. Because app users have the ability to download pics, share stories, and comment, it creates a supportive environment to motivate each other. I highly recommend this app to anyone who is looking for an easy way to track their weight loss progress and is serious about achieving their goal!

SinglesSource.US ,

so easy to count calories and track exercise

FatSecret is by far the best calorie counter app on the market- I really like the diet calendar that visually allows you to see multiple days of calories eaten and exercise calories burned so you can tweak your diet plan according to this history. FatSecret has tons of restaurants built into the search so if you’re out at restaurant that “hides” the calories, you can still order intelligently. Much better than “lose it” app in my opinion.

Kweenb 001 ,

Love how easy it is to use this app

I don’t pay for the premium but what is included for free is what I was looking for. I just wanted to track my food daily. Bonus with this app is you can search foods for your log and many things are there with all nutritional info. Some things aren’t and yuh have to option to add it manually. It also has me weigh in weekly and keep track of my progress. You can set up a personalized daily goal for your dietary needs. I love it!

finchbird42 ,

It’s SO easy

I’ve checked out many apps but I keep sticking with Fat Secret. It’s a simple app and doesn’t have any distractions. I love that it shows how many macros I eat each day. Many apps charge extra for this. I also love that I can count everything in grams, IMO this is one of the best features. It’s not pretty and in color like other apps, but it’s simple, efficient, and best of all, super easy to use. And you never get pestered to upgrade or have annoying ads. It truly is the best!

ImaginaryMusicLover ,

Why can’t I manually enter calories?

The only way to log your calories in, is if you use the barcode scanner or search for foods in their search bar.


Welp, that’s completely useless when you buy everything that’s store branded and, toss the boxes with said barcodes. Of course it’s not going to recognize store branded food anyway and it’ll give you a result in which is nothing like the item that you scanned. I remember the calorie content for everything I tossed but, I just can’t track it on these apps. Which forces me to go back towards tracking via, the old fashioned way. A.k.a with a pen and paper. I wanted to track digitally so I wouldn’t have to pop out a pen & paper every five minutes.

IGBella ,

Exceeded expectations

The last thing I wanted to do was keep a log of my daily intake, but this app has made it easy AND helped me stay focused on my weight loss goal. While it’s obvious to all of us that eating and drinking less will lead to weight loss, actually keeping track from that first cup of coffee until dinner allowed me to allow myself that glass of wine while staying under my calorie limit set by the app that will result in weight loss. I started about a week ago and I have lost 3.4 lbs. Definitely recommending this to friends

Ericalwumich ,

Simple and Easy to use

I just started using this app but I really like it. It’s easy and had a lot more data in it than I expected for a free app. I am excited to see if I actually follow the caloric diet they suggest if I will lose the last few lbs I’ve been wanting to shed. If anything it helps you be accountable and actually see what you’re putting into your body. I’m also nutrient deficient so I hope this helps me stay on top of that too. Stupid name, but good app!

Toddzilla1 ,

Since 2011

I have been using FatSecret for a very long time. It is the easiest way I have found to keep track of what I eat. I love how I am able to control proteins, carbs, and sugar counts. I measure what I want to measure. This app was made for me. I have the ability to go back through the years and read little notes that I journaled. It helps me To not repeat certain mistakes I’ve made. I highly recommend fatsecret. It’s made to be personal, and I love the privacy. Its so easy!

Trying 2 Lose Weight ,

Fix This Bug Please!!

Just started using it and I noticed that you can not adjust the “resting and relaxing” time. It only gives you the option to adjust sleep. The app splits the activity into 24 hours so if you sleep 8 hours your relaxing 16 it doesn’t make sense because it asks you other activities like work & exercise. I can’t sleep for 8 work for 8 exercise for 2 and rest for 16 hours = 34! Why is this a big deal bcuz this part of the app tracks calories burned! I could be making a big deal out of nothing

Karine Bottomo ,

A Helpful Health Tool

I've been using FatSecret since the New Year, mostly to track my weight, but I have logged several meals with the app as well. It's a simple health tool that can be used to hold yourself accountable for whatever goals you have set for yourself. I broke my resolutions for about two weeks, but I just had to get back on track and FatSecret was the tool I came back to without feeling any guilt or shame. I just picked up where I left off. Like any app, it's a tool and it's efficacy is all dependent on how you use it.

sunny_556 ,

Unfortunately macros are not accurate

Unlike MyFitnessPal, there is no “verified checkmark” for simple vegetable macros. Every single vegetable has been way off and inaccurate in terms of fats and carbs. This makes me have to enter my OWN entry for veggies, which is a process in itself. I liked the app at first for its easy “saving” when selecting multiple food items. The barcode scanner is also helpful. But this app needs a more accurate and trusted library. This also needs a “quick add” macro option rather than having to add an entire new food choice. Sadly have to go back to MyFitnessPal because of this feature. Can’t spend all my time entering all my own custom values for vegetables.

Super_Mando_64 ,

Free, Simple, Useful

I think the title says it all, this app has helped me keep track of all that I eat. I highly recommend you try it out, what have You got to lose? The UI is appealing and intuitive.



Edit: July, 2020

The app remains as useful as ever. The update to the UI and suggestions have been phenomenal and the only real feature I could ask for, as a Keto Dieter, is the ability for the calculator to subtract Fiber from the total Carbohydrates since I count Net Carbs rather than total.

DebinJersey ,

Excellent app for weight and calorie tracking

Navigating thru this app can be awkward but once familiar with it, it is just fine. I like it very much! Along with weight and calorie tracking, the user has the option to interact socially with people who are supportive and humorous. There are recipes, meal plans(for a fee) and a way to search for consumed food using a search phrase or a photo which works a lot better than I expected. All in all, I highly recommend it 👍🏼

sdstan ,

The only consistent Program

This is very easy to use, and fantastically accurate. My weight has always been a problem. It is fun to post daily (sometime I failed to do so but that really does not affect the process)


If I don’t use this at all for a period the weight goes up! And sometimes that happens for more than a month, but easy to restart, with the record of, in my case, years.


The programmed database has, what seems to be an infinite number of different foods, each with multiple methods of determining and recording a portions calories.


There are many other functions which I do not use. Privacy is my choice but one can compete (anonymously) with others - set goals and records personally etc.


SD Senator Stan


A really simple system to determine “calories in calories out” as well as nutrition.

Jmgwriter ,

Love this app!

I’ve been on a diet for nine weeks that helps you adjust your behavior, but I’m losing weight. The bottom line is, the less you eat, the faster you lose weight. I don’t care how many crunches you do or miles you run, if you’re still eating like crap, you’re not going to lose weight. That’s why this Fat Secret is so fantastic! I love this app! Now I know exactly how many calories I am digesting, and where I’m putting the emphasis of my food.

37774ron ,

I love FatSecret!

It’s awesome! Take total control, from adding your own recipes to eating out, it’s amazing! I bought a pudding cake for a neighborhood picnic. It was one of those Kroger bakery special recipes. I looked it up on FatSecret, and there it was! Kroger Cinnamon Pecan Pudding Cake! Glad I didn’t eat some! Went to Johnny Carino’s while traveling. Had its Primavera Chicken. Looked it up, and there it was in the app. It keeps track of my weight timeline, breaks down food nutrients, etc. Amazing! Did I say that already?!

araujoiam ,

Great tool

This is a great tool for those willing to lose weight. It’s perfect to organize your perfect diet. It has helped me lose over 60 pounds. I feel like I became my own Nutritionist because it gives me all the info about food that I need to know and alongside the knowledge I have acquired, it allows me to control every aspect of my diet and even shape the way my mind operates when it comes to eating healthier. Thanks to the FatSecret team. You are changing lives.

(^.^)22 ,

Really great app

I love the detailed information it gives me about my food, it tells me what percentage of fat vs protein vs carbs I’ve had. This is great for people doing Keto diets. It also shows me where I’m at in my calorie count for the day. I’ve learned a lot about food in this program.


The two things I wish it had was a water intake calculator and a body measurement screen so that I could be inputting that data as well.


Overall this is my favorite food tracking app, I’ve used a lot and I’ve not found one better.

Jmck28 ,

Needs a vegetable category

I’ve been using this for about a month now. It’s relatively easy to use and has a decent sized database. I wish there was a way to favorite foods that you eat often - sometimes mine don’t show up in the “most eaten” category. Also, I wish they would add a vegetables category. Veggies fall under carbs but I think of carbs as bread, so even though I’m not using this to totally monitor my diet, adding that category would make it easier to see what you may be missing or overdoing it on.

Ndjdbckud ,

Best Calorie Tracking App

I love the saved meal feature, I love the line graph for your weight, I love the recipe feature, I love that it’s green, I love that I can program in new foods that aren’t in the system, I love how it’s more flexible and detail oriented than MyFitnessPal. The only thing I don’t enjoy is the new connectivity options. I don’t want or need to see other people’s food or weight journeys. It’s thankfully an option so I’m not forced to see it when I open the app.

Vnicki ,

Love the app... But...

Overall, I love the app. There are however some improvements that I think could be made. For starters, I think the app would benefit if the Recommended daily intake adjusted based on the amount of calories burned in a day. Second, I (personally) think that the scanning feature is a bit complicated. (Maybe it’s just me), but it can only be used from one specific place. If I am creating a recipe, I can not scan in ingredients. I have to enter them manually. It would be easier if they could be scanned. Just a few suggestions...

ketoMacroTracker ,

The best overall health tracker, hands down

Macros? Calories? Nutrients? This tracks everything. Vast and easy to use library of foods. Support and journaling (if that’s your cuppa tea) for those who want it. Ability to enter your own recipes so you can understand the breakdown of what you make consistently (let’s face it- we all have like 10-20 recipes we use on a consistent basis- it’s worth the time to enter these. Good luck getting your goals everyone!

Marcelakilos ,

FatSecret App

I am enjoying it very much! It helps me a lot!

Suggestions:

1. Please order the products by alphabetical order so that when searching I don’t have to go through all the pages.

2. I believe there are duplicates (because they are added in a different way) that can be eliminated

3. Some times I find the nutritional information of a product at google and I realize that the information is from fat secret app and I can not find it through the app. I have to add all the info again

King TrickJamesBeeyoch ,

Excellent and Fun to use

All the tools are here that you need to get pretty accurate with food logging and also lots of restaurant menus to look up. Easy to Share progress and info. Scanning bar codes makes things even easier and can even add pictures of items that are not posted. Get recipes & suggestions. Track your weight and log your activities as well..... And there's still do much more, this app is a "MUST HAVE".

@call_me_oso_ ,

I think better than Myfitness Pal

This app has currently helped me lose 30 pounds and I’m going to keep it going too. My favorite part about this app is that it allows me to input everything in grams or milliliters which is a must so I don’t have to do different measurements for stuff. And if I’m not mistaken, I think MyFitnessPal only allows for up to 100 g servings and FatSecret doesn’t. I haven’t checked the max but I haven’t need to. All I’m all, this app freakin rocks!

mufrob ,

Great App!!!

I had no idea how much I was consuming as far as calories go until I started using fat secret. The first two days I used the app I recorded everything that I put in in my mouth. I was shocked to see that I had eaten over 8,000 calories in two days!!! It was a definite eye-opener! I started using the app keeping it within 2500 calories, and in two weeks time I lost 8.2 pounds!!! I highly recommend this app and give it a five star rating!!!

Girl Stepper ,

My favorite app for years

I have been using this app for years, on and off. Lately more often since having to change eating habits. It’s tried and true and has kept my info even when I stopped using it for a few months. It is perfect for the level of food monitoring I need and is not complicated. I also enjoy the options provided for calories used. This app is great and reliable!

marinarice ,

Has everything I need

FatSecret is fantastic, especially considering it’s free. You can look up foods individually, by restaurant, by prepackaged product or even supermarket brands. It tracks calories and macros as well as your weight. You can input sleep and exercise. You can run reports on daily and weekly intake. There are sections for recipes and you can take a picture of your food and the app will help with identifying the contents. There’s so much more! I love this app!!

Well-trained-no-secret ,

Fatsecret really works for me😏

I’ve been using fatsecret for one month....logging in everything I eat...no lying. Each day a report goes to my trainer, who gets a 100% transparent view of me performance. And I have lost 6 pounds in 30-days. In two more months I’ll be at my target. I fix 100% of my meals with products from Safeway...I am working to hit a good ratio of carbs, fats and proteins, and I’m getting go at it and having fun with it. Works great as a training aid.

HlCunningham ,

Latest version organizes Recently Eaten foods well

In the old days Recently Eaten foods were listed by meal. This made it easy to eat leftovers but hard to eat dinner leftovers at lunch. Then in a recent update Recently Eaten foods were displayed for all meals so leftovers were very difficult. With this latest update Recently Eaten foods are listed by meal followed by other meals which makes it possible to eat leftovers at the same meal easily and at another meal - best of both:-)

calpaladin ,

Great program that makes me feel terrible

My doctor made me download this to document my daily calorie and sodium intake. The program can factor in a lot of food, including snacks and restaurant menus. It’s intuitive to use and presents the info in simple, easy to read ways.


That said, I have been horrible depressed using this program as it is impossible to stay under 2,000 calories and 2,300 mg of sodium a day without feeling sad.

Sumairy ,

Your best friend to hold yourself accountable

I’ve tried many other apps to track my progress and keep a watchful eye on my nutrition. The database is very good compared to other apps and adding new products is very easy. In addition, you are able to save a group of ingredients a meal.

Although I just started using the community I can say it is really nice to know others are supporting you and being inspired from the cooking you post.

Real Live Struggle ,

Always come back

I have been using FatSecret for 3 years now. Every time I start a new weight loss program FatSecret help me track my food, weight, calories, carbs. I can go back and see what I ate when I had good results on any day. I love the weight loss chart, not only does it track the your start to goal but you can actually see the down hill progression. I use the free version and wished it tracked water intake, other than that I love it!!

carolmaeray ,

The Best calorie counting app available

The database of foods is huge and constantly surprising. You can select the item and save to your calorie count but then adjust the calorie count to your portion. You can save a meal if it’s one you eat often as I do with my toast, ricotta and jam breakfast. You can easily navigate the screens You can add exercise. You can see the nutritional content of foods eaten and not eaten, both as a graph and as percentages. Need I say more?

Reflex7 ,

Awesome free food tracking app

I use this to keep track of all my food for bodybuilding and this app rocks. Super easy to look up foods, with a large data base, they have pretty much everything I’ve ever searched for. I also love that you can create our own custom meals, so you can meal prep for an entire week and just put in the servings and at each meal you can add everything you ate to your record with one touch.

Dani!queBola ,

FatSecret

Great application for those of you who enjoy listing all your food and learning from your past.


This app teaches and shows you what you eat by the numbers broken down to the nutrition facts and mathematical equation that give you your body fat index.


Even counts your protein intake and carbohydrates as well as fat consumed. I think this app is a great one to start with. If you advance your dieting skills, you can advance in your goals.

Cascade1mil ,

Great app to keep track

This app is great for those that want to keep track of calories, macros, or helping to understand your eating habits better. Their user interface is super user friendly and makes tracking easy. All of the data you input is accompanied by great data graphs showing your day/week percentages totals. This apps implementation of the data is done in a simple stupid way that anyone can use it.

williamedia ,

Makes life easier

I started a new keto diet recently and this app helps me track everything I need. It allows you to include macros if you are tracking your meals. Maybe you just want to track your fluctuations on the scale. Or how about something that makes it’s easy to look up the sugars, carbs or fats in what you are eating. This app does it all and never stumbles. I highly recommend it for any wellness oriented person.

Ggsgmd ,

The secret to weight loss and maintenance

There are thousands of diet plans. There are a few diet medications. There is surgery. All of it is intended to help the dieter tolerate eating fewer calories than they previously consumed. The best way to know if you are on track is to keep track of those calories. This app is fantastic at that and tracks your weight too. The push notifications help keep me going. It doesn’t work if you don’t use it. Good Luck!

Kidst3v3o ,

Easy to use

Enjoyed the app very much I had no idea that it was so easy to count calories, if you are trying to drop weight I highly suggest you use this app. The data base for different foods is very wide based they have pretty much all the major brands and some minor ones as well and they have calorie counts and servings for those as well. What are you doing reading this review go and download the app and start!

Abreibart ,

Great app.

Really like all of the features - very helpful in my fat loss regimen. Two things: 1. Add a scanner for auto entry of product barcodes/nutritional info; 2. a HELP menu (I can’t figure out how to create my own food item entries because the choice doesn’t always show up. I assume it’s ignorance on my part that a HELP menu item would solve) or at least a link to your website where help and user questions are archived and/or answered or discussed. Do that and I’ll give 5 stars

DOrlin7 ,

Fab weight-loss tool!

Great for calorie tracking and weigh-ins. The database has almost everything you want and you can add to it yourself! Daily breakdown of what you’ve eaten and in what form your calories are. Weekly reports are helpful for macro tracking and knowing when to trick your body’s metabolism. The interface is easy to use and the free version is enough for me!

Lost 24 pounds in a month solely by tracking calories here!

Fjdjdhc ,

So great!

Unlike Noom and all the other apps that make you pay, this app is free and also doesn’t try to pester you about limiting foods insanely or stressing education that doesn’t apply to everyone. It is simple and easy to use with a great calorie calculator food journal, great people to connect with on a main feed, and an easy weigh-in journal that has the option for you to set reminders to get on the scale if you want to.

MamaLeBlanc ,

Favorite diet BUT needs net carbs

I have been using this App for almost 2 years. I have tried other calorie counting and diet Apps and this is by far my favorite. The others have deleted until recently. I recently started the keto diet and I am heartbroken that I have had to use another App simply because this App doesn’t calculate net carbohydrates which means my daily macro nutrient goals and percentages are not accurate. I really really hope a future update makes net carbs an option.

Ibll Glue ,

Weight tracker does not track weight

I’ve been using MyNetDiary for about a month but I’m looking for something better. This is pretty good except that it does not read weight from the health app. It reads activities and writes nutrition but it doesn’t read weight from Health.


It may seem like a nit but it’s incredibly stupid from where I stand. According to their forums people have been asking for this for years.


I want this to not only grab it day to day but it needs to read my history as well. This is extremely important to those who are looking for a change.

D-S-N Solutions ,

Great Creation!

This app is possibly the easiest, most intuitive app I’ve used for tracking calories, fats, proteins and macro nutritional information! I love it. You can simply add any new foods you choose. The list of food available amazes me every time I search! There are no confusing redirects, no crappy adds! Helped me find what I was doin wrong and correct it!


Great job! Finally an app made for people who think clearly.


Thank you.

genesis 2018 ,

Great App.

Hi. I love your app. However, in order for me to pay for the premium, I need to know if it will allow me to add additional “snack” times & rearrange my meals. For example, I do not like that there’s only 1 section under snacks. Most people will eat 3 meals and 2-3 snacks per day. I would like to be able to add another snack section and move it around accordingly. Ie, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack, etc... Can you please tell me if the premium option will allow me to do what I am asking? Thank you!

My go-to food log

Recommended by a friend who lost 25 lbs and 8% body fat. Tracking macros USA great start to getting your diet under control. Fat Secret is the third app I’ve tried for tracking. It was easy from day 1, has a sizable database of foods to enter, and I love the reports functionality. I think it’s over-generous on calories burned for exercise, but I have other tools for that. For tracking macros in, this is the best I’ve used so far.

FatSecret Discovered the Secret!

I am 56 this year and have learned that mid-age spread is for real. When I recently looked at my body and decided enough is enough, I searched for phone apps that would help me stay aware and focused on what I was doing and my goals. I am using FatSecret daily and have found it to be of tremendous service to me at this time. If you are serious and dedicated to losing weight this app is the one for you. Give it a go!

MTMAMA1 ,

Love this app!

To lose weight I need an app that helps me keep track of calories, exercise, and weight. This app does all that. It calculates the maximum daily caloric intake in order to reach your goal, and the extensive list of calories in each food makes this easy to track. The graph charting your progress serves as an incentive to keep striving to meet your goal. You will lose the weight if you strictly follow the guidelines.

The easiest and enormously helpful app

I have used FatSecret since my blood sugar and cholesterol results reflected bad news for me. That was few weeks back. I have since taken up a diet/exercise regimen. That would have been worthless had FatSecret not been there. Its intuitive, well designed so it is very-very easy to use. It has just about right enough information to be successful in your diet plan. Well done!

Wonderful tool

I’ve been using the app now for a little under a month and I love it! I had another app that just wasn’t helping. You can track calories, macros, see your progress as time goes on and big plus, there is an awesome supportive community that tries to help out when you get stuck. If you’re newly on a journey of health and fitness this is a wonderful tool to have in your back pocket.

Don’t be put off by the name, FatSecret is a great easy to use App!!

Don’t be put off by the name, FatSecret is a great easy to use App!! Most foods are already populated in the App so you just search, click, adjust the serving size, and your tracking is complete. Quick and easy. I lost 4 lbs and one inch off my waist in my first month, just by making sure I eat less calories than I burn. So easy to use! Highly recommend.

My favorite Keto App

Love everything it has but wish it had 1 more feature. I wish it kept a running list to choose from everything you ever ate during any meal. As an example, if I eat some cheese as a snack it remains on the breakfast choice list for later. If I want that same cheese for lunch I have to find it again and add it to lunch. Just would like a tab that has the running list of all you have eaten so you can choose it for what ever meal you want.

BertinHouston ,

Best calorie counting app ever

Been using the IPhone FatSecret app for a little more than a week and finally have found the tool that is going to keep me on track to my goal. It’s Boomer easy, intuitive and everything works. The recipe ingredients come out a bit wonky and sometimes it is hard to find fresh leafy items or herbs such as basil leaves. Minor issue. All in all a lifesaver for an aspiring calorie counter!!

Jackmeoffalot ,

Love this app!

I scan 90% of the barcodes on products to track my calories, macros and nutrients. Plus the search option has everything for items without barcodes. It’s simple to use and the reporting feature to track weekly progress is awesome. I was manually tracking my BMR, exercise and calorie intake on an excel spreadsheet I created; this is 10x simpler and always with me by being on my phone.

NO"NET"Carbs in pie graph

For us folks on a VERY LOW CARB restricted or KETO diet.... we must keep our NET carbs 25-30g or below per day. We can run a bit above that so long as our NET carbs stays within this range. Although you have a section that will compute and SUBTRACT (-) the FIBER and(+) SUGAR ALCOHOLS from the TOTAL carbs.....this doesn't carry over to the pie charts and reports for the NET CARBS. Please allow the same algorithm or formula to carry over to the charts and reports. With these types of highly POPULAR diets every carb and fraction thereof is crucial. Especially with the KETO diet. We usually try to keep our CARB MACROS around the 5% mark.

PLEASE make this minor adjustment and I, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS WILL UPDATE OUR REVIEWS AND RAISE OUR STAR RATINGS. MINE TO 5*

Thank you :-)

I have used fat secret for 3 years. In that time period I have went from 426# today at 204# and still going my goal is 54 pounds away but I continue to use this wonderful tool to improve my health. I no like ne’er am. Insulin dependent diabetic suffer from hypertension chronic pain depression anxiety hyperlipidemia hyper cholesterol and I went from 12 years in a wheelchair to walking and exercising daily. It’s not the soul solution but a great tool to better health

lol_za ,

Almost 5 stars

Four stars because it is south african, but there are simple user friendly things that can allow me to add meals easier. If I cooked something for dinner and I have it for lunch, I shoild be able to “repost” it from my diary the day before into another day. As in be able to replicate the exact same meals foe different days.

Alphabetise the lists of food, and searches. This way I can find a what I posted recently much easier. Otherwise great simple app.

jrp0529 ,

Be Careful...Don’t trust the app completely!

I know that the overwhelming number of reviews for this app are positive and I agree that it is a great tool to track all nutrition information. However, be careful to ALWAYS check nutrition labels. I have kept track over the past week and over 1/2 of the labels in Fat Secret have been wrong. Not off my much but a few calories/carbs here and there can make a difference. It still is a good app but always check the nutrition information for yourself and do NOT trust this app entirely sadly!

Alkelda ,

Great app, terrible name

Ignore the fact that this is worst app name ever! I found this app based on an online blog recommendation, and have been very happy with it. Tracking calories is easy to do, and the barcode scanning feature makes it even easier to enter foods. I keep track of my exercise as well, and write notes to refer to later. As of this writing, there are no annoying pop-up ads.

VistaObserver ,

Seems great!

I really like the UI and how clean the app is. I’ve used my fitness pal before and it often crashed for me, though I think that was mostly because of my phone at the time. This app is simple and doesn’t hold back features if you’re trying to track your calories. I haven’t used any of their premium meal plans yet, but will consider it in the future.

DissatisfiedWithNewVersion ,

FatSecret fan

I am a big fan of the CalorieCounter by Fatsecret app. I have tried multiple apps and FatSecret is by far the easiest to use. Since I use a food scale to weigh my food, I like that food weights can be easily entered in grams for most foods that I eat. It saves me trying to do the calculations separately. I also like that I’m not bothered by a lot of reminders, especially if I go over my calories a little or miss recoding a day.

purple_zhaan ,

Makes it easy to lose and an eye opener for food habits

I did not like the restrictions of any one diet. FatSecret lets ME chose my favorite foods and manage portions towards my goals. It takes calorie counting to a higher level by including the breakdown of the calories and nutrients. It feels more like a game and less like a diet. I also love the fact that it’s integrated with my I watch so I know the calories I burned each day.

Dreasry ,

Can’t enter a recipe

I have been using Fat Secret for several years. It has been a great tool for me to control my weight. However, I am not able to enter a recipe for a smoothie because I don’t cook it. Even after upgrading, it requires a cook time. I have tried everything! 5 minutes. 2 hours. Zero (which, being a smoothie is correct). Now it isn’t a tool at all. Very disappointed!

BarbinNC ,

Love love love this app

About 10 years ago I decided to take control of my weight. I went low carb and tracked everything I consumed with a book, notebook, and pen. Lost 48 lbs and was happy. I started to slowly gain, 8 or 9 lbs over the course of 5 or 6 years. I tried Noom and within days I decided that I liked the tracking, but I loathed the coach. I went looking and found this app. It’s just about perfect for what I need.

mommaloosing! ,

Great app!!!

I love the app it makes you accountable and feel secure in what your eating and how much your eating and your weight progress!! My only issue which is tiny is on the diet calendar some days shows I ate more calories than I actually did and when you go back to the date the actual calories you ate is correct! I know it’s strange but I don’t pay attention to the overall calendar I pay attention to the everyday calorie counter!!

Homer217 ,

Best I’ve found

There are a ton of fitness tracking apps. And I’ve tried a tone of them. For my use (low carb diet) this is the best app I’ve found. I use it mainly for tracking food, but it’s linked to my health app, and it’s cool to be able to see my calories in VS calories out. Many of the other apps demand a subscription to unlock necessary parts of the app (yes, especially MFP app). This one doesn’t, and it works great.

Eduaccoroni ,

Excellent app

I've been using for 4 years and it really works. And the best of all: every functionality is free! No additional purchases. I tried my fitness pal, but you need to pay a monthly subscription to unblock all the functionalities you got for free by using fat secret. Also, the fat secret has more activities options to help you to know how many calories you've burned through the day.

4-Kiks ,

Excellent!!

This is a wonderful app to keep you on track with calorie counting! Especially if you are one of those who need to see how you’re doing in chart form and have it laid out in front of you. Would’ve gave 5 stars if app kept track of water intake and had good/bad fat ratios instead of counting all fat as bad. Love the communication with others whom are on the same weight loss/healthy journey! I’m down 16 lbs in 7 weeks with only 4 to go! Thank you fatsecret! 😁

Developer Response ,

Appreciate the feedback, great success so far ;) Tripple thumbs up.

HMB local ,

This app has changed the way and what I eat

Great app. Began tracking my food because of poor lab results (high cholesterol, poor kidney function and some other things). After 4 months of tracking my food, adjusting and readjusting, my weight is down, my lab results are excellent and I’m definitely eating better. This app helped me make the lifestyle changes I needed to look and feel healthier.

RoxtarDiva ,

Better than the “Pal”

This app has so many extra exercise and food choices than other apps I’ve tried. I left a couple times and came back to this one for good. I don’t have a wearable tracker to connect to so I can’t comment on that, but tracking my food and exercise manually has worked for me. I always lose weight when I use this app to hold me accountable.

Tampa WW ,

I like this APP- pros/cons list

I have been a lifelong MFP user but wanted to change things up. I’m only one week in with this app but here are my thoughts so far:


PROS

- free!

- no ads! I really love this.

- easy to use

- food database isn’t filled with lots of inaccurate data, like MFP. It’s more controlled. Doesn’t seem like anyone can just add to it.

- you can add recipes (it’s called cookbook in this app)


CONS

- doesn’t sync weight from health app or Renpro. Need to add manually which seems odd.

- can’t copy meals. Example: I ate something for dinner and want to eat that for breakfast. It’s in my recent foods for dinner but I have to re-enter for breakfast

- add smaller ratio options. Only 1/4,1/2,3/4 cup. What about 1/8, 5/8, etc (like MFP)

-terrible name


I’m committed to using for next 2 months. More updates to follow!

jmrpax ,

Excellent FREE app for tracking calories

I was looking for an app that would help me to track calories ( and wouldn’t start charging you after a free trial. This has been so helpful!

I love also that it syncs with my Fitbit. Another great feature is the scanner it has for UPC codes to enter your food. A time saver for sure. It also will let you save your favorite meals that you have frequently.

Mama Haas ,

Only thing I don’t like is the app name

This app is super user friendly! Love the barcode scanner. That and the whole app makes tracking really easy. Two things I’d change: the name, total daily count to reflect burned calories. I know you can see that on the monthly summary, and I can do math, BUT... it is just nice to see it reflected in a total number at a glance. Love everything else though.

GregZisme ,

Kinda Cool!

I think I saw an ad for the app on my Instagram feed, and as I was just starting a Keto plan, I thought I’d give it a try. I’m finding it fun, and a bit of a pain, to track my daily food intake, but after figuring out how to set up my recurring meal items it’s becoming second nature to keep up with inputting the info. It seems to have a really deep data base on store brand and restaurant foods. So far, I’m liking it - and I’m down 6 pounds in two weeks! 👍🏻👍🏻

Bill Pratt in DC ,

Happy user since 2012

I use FatSecret every single day for every single meal to stay on track with my calories and macros. The databases are very well-maintained and are crowd sourced so I can always add a new food and if I need to. The community is helpful and fun. And then I’ve made lots of friends that I’ve known for years. FatSecret is the key to my success in losing over 100 pounds and keeping it off for this long.

KingDD3 ,

Great Tool

Great Tool for counting calories and keeping track of a diet. Tons of preprogrammed options and scannable items make it really easy to record what you’re consuming and help you loose weight if that’s your goal. 2 things it needs to do better are 1) Allow a better way to add products that aren’t recognized and then have them be scannable at a later date. 2) Better security and encryption for accounts and the mobile app.

danisaywhaa ,

Great app but could be better!

I was recommended this app for its food database by a friend who used it. And now I see why-the recipes are great! Although I wish there was a way to save the recipes outside of the food diary. I love looking through the recipes for ideas but I can never save them and not count it as a meal for the day.


In addition, I’d love to see more summary/diary options. Specifically for counting NET carbs as opposed to just the macros. I nearly had a heart attack when I put in my low carb tortillas and I suddenly went over my percentage!!


Regardless, I really enjoy the app. The first time using it was a little confusing but I'm getting the hang of it! I do like the community feed, but again I'd wish there was an easier way to add specific friends/buddies.


It just seems like the app has good ideas, they just need improvements.

CosasOnTheRun ,

Great app to keep track of calories

Easy to use and keep a log of the food you eat. Most of the information for food is already on file and if not you can easily enter it. I like the display of all the information and how fast you can navigate from one screen to another. Definitely recommend it if you want to achieve your goals.

AbuAlbara_alsilwadi ,

Excellent app

I love using this app. Logging in your food intake is really easy with the huge database and the feature of adding new foods that aren’t on the list. I wish that you could add more meals per day and not only stick with 4 meals where I’d have to log my multiple meals on the same meal type. Would be nice to have the option of adding as many meals per day as possible.

Zxbsjsndnsk ,

Great app

Very great app!! Love it.

Only con is I can’t find some of the foods I eat, so I’ll have to use something else that has the same cals. Before the new update I was able to change the name. Which was cool b/c I would know exactly what I ate instead of thinking I ate what I used that had the same calories. I wish that feature was still available but w/e. It’s really a good free app! Love it. Been using it since March 25th, I’ve lost 7lbs as well as a few inches. Thanks FatSecret 😍

Retired Space Food Junkie ,

FatSecret works for me

This app has help me reduce my weight without exercising. I eat things I like and fast 16 hours a day. Eat an early dinner and late breakfast. Track sugars and carbs by keeping them within recommended range and give your body a chance to process the food naturally. The app also lets me plan ahead by checking calories of foods I buy at the grocery store and restaurants. It is a well planned app.

Abbey Babbey ,

Easy and efficient

Have used a few calorie/macro/weight tracking apps, this one is by far the easiest I have used. It’s no fuss and I like the alerts as they are just enough and not annoying. Has made it easier to track my protein intake and monitor my weight. I don’t use all of the features but what I do use definitely meets my needs. Highly recommend!

Silver Streak 1 ,

Great App. Love it. One Addition would make it better.

The app is great. Things I previously stated has been taken care of.


Now I have one more recommendation.


Some people plan their meals throughout the day. It would be great if there was a check box before each item added to show actually eaten. Maybe even another box showing actual calories and carbs consumed.

cjswallow ,

FatSecret easy for an old computer tech to use!

I am sure I’ve not explored all the features of this easy to use program. I installed it on my iPhone, iPad and Windows PC. I see everything across all platforms. The program finds just about every food I eat. I’ve lost 25 pounds in just over a month. I’ve also paired it with the Health app on my iPhone. It’s just a fantastic App.

VSWC ,

Very Good & none are perfect

Has pretty many entries and you can enter your own recipes, save meals, etc. You can customize the macros you track (i.e. net carbs, sugar, etc.)

I find it to be very user friendly & offers great communities (recipes, inspiration, etc) you can access without participating if you don’t want to. Exercise entries are somewhat limited. Could be improved by adding a scanner component like WW had. All in all, this is my preferred app.

Jon MUIR 69 2 ,

Love the App!!

This really helps count not only the calories, but the the % proteins, carbs, fat too.

It takes the calories burned from my Fitbit and inputs them right into the app.

Wish list for future updates:

1. Be able to add weight automatically from Fitbit Aria scale.

2. Have additional snack section, to be able to place snack in between other meals (e.g. snack between lunch & dinner, then another snack after dinner)

Palzter ,

From 183lbs to 150lbs

Calorie counter helped me lose 33lbs. I learned to eat much smaller portions so that I could eat whatever I wanted.


They’ve made it much easier to find the foods you eat in their extensive database. If you cannot find a food, you can actually add it to the database for you and all users of the App to find and add to the personal food diary.


And let’s not forget the weight journal. Just check and add your weight to the journal to watch those pounds evaporate.


Lots of other great features to help you succeed in reaching your goals.


Be sure to remember that just because you have the app doesn’t guarantee you will lose weight; you have to use the app and adjust your portions accordingly.

Cascadia2018 ,

Easy to use

This is a user-friendly, smooth running app that helps you track how much and what you're eating. There are tons of foods already in their data base and you can scan product bar codes to get nutritional data. You have a choice of what to tract, calories, carbs, net carbs, etc. The net carbs may run a little high but everything else seems accurate.

BrandieMOH ,

Great app

This is an amazing app, I’ve tried several others in the past and have not seen the differences in weight like I have since using this one - I haven’t even been using it a month and I’m already down several lbs - it has a journal you can share along with your weigh in and there’s a very supportive community that you can communicate with 💕

supersayanyoda2 ,

Great app withe wide food catalog

Love the app so far has most things i would want. I wish you could track workouts on it and that you could search food on apple watch. Also kinda annoying that to find the net calories (food - activity) you have to go to a diet calendar instead of being part of the summary. Besides those negatives i like the ui and the food catalog is vast. Also its great that it integrates with apple health.

12dilly34fox ,

Fat secret helper bee

This app makes tracking calories, weight and macronutrients Easy. It offers some great recipes for specific diets at your fingertips . What could be better: actually finding the food I eat most frequently. It has a category for recent food but isn’t accurate. It uses a lot of brands which is actually helpful unless you cook from scratch, which I do. Then I usually choose a food closest to what I made.

nissan men ,

Education

My biggest problem when trying to lose weight was foods that I thought were good for me really were not,when I started using the app and seeing how many calories foods had in them,I made different choices,their are days that I don’t even come close to eating all my calorie because of the smart choices I am making

Kaleenka ,

Better than the rest but need a couple tweaks and Fitbit integration.

I’ve tried them all but have learned more using FatSecret. The amount of data available and the myriad ways it can be viewed/chunked out is incredibly useful. Good looking. Fast. Only a couple things need addressed:


When switching from diary to nutrition, default is weekly. It makes more sense to me to default to daily view. I’m looking at nutritional breakdown to see what else I need to get in for the day or what I’ve has enough/too much of so I can lay off. Weekly is only useful once a week.


Fitbit does not integrate. Buggy even getting step count to import.


Super neat to take a photo of my meal and have it guess nutritional make up.

Djhypno ,

Gets better with every user

Great for tracking how many calories you expend and ingest. It's eye-opening! Just entering the info has caused me to lose weight because now I'm very aware. There is a surprising amount of nutritional information for foods already entered by other users. Every time you enter another food item, it gets easier for everyone!

Vp9899 ,

Best weight loss tracking for meals

I’ve been using this app for over 8 years. I have maintained my weight loss. I enjoy logging all my daily meals, exercises and talking with others. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You can set your caloric goals, weight goals and count calories daily. I enjoy keeping track of my sugars, proteins and sodium counts. You have the flexibility of changing it based on your needs. MUST HAVE!

Reanm8or ,

Drawbacks?

I like this app but if I had to change a few minor things I would. It’d be nice to have a copy/paste functionality (or maybe I’m just missing it?) and what’d be really nice is if you had a “drink” section that tallied up your beverage count as well. I also think it’d be nice to have the option to automatically scroll to the next or previous day if desired, vice using the calendar every time.

Shrinking Gut ,

A wonderful motivator to stay on Kcal daily target

Pros-Easy to use, huge variety of foods from stores to easily plug into with all the ingredients and necessary nutritional values to make an informed decision for my calorie and nutritional intake.

Saves items to easily plug in daily meals plus snacks/other. Keeps track of weigh ins. Gives periodic feedback and information.


Cons-better integration with iPhone health chart.

Health2you ,

Great tool

Overall Fat Secret is a very flexible and comprehensive tool for achieving either weight loss or improving your nutrition. The app is easy to use and modifications are quickly made. Nutritional components and vital elements within the foods are all available by food or by day, or trended over time, so no matter what your goal is- like tracking your potassium intake-it can be tracked easily and for free.

Goog cont and survey ,

Excellent calorie tracker

I have been using this application for four weeks. Easy to use, shows nutrition as well as calories. Great database - everything I have searched for shows up in the tool with calories and nutrition information. The tool is intuitive and make it easy to record meals! I never give reviews but this is a great tool for pursuing weight loss!

Gracey Cape ,

Best Calorie Tracking App Out There!!

As someone who has tried every calorie tracking app out there, and also as someone who NEVER leaves a review about ANYTHING, take my word when I say that FatSecret is the absolute best. It has all the features that have been missing from other apps along with a killer data base. Any previously loyal MyFitnessPal, Loseit, or WW members won’t be disappointed!

AlphaThumper ,

Fat Secret

I haven’t used many (any) weight tracker apps before, but this seems like an excellent one. It shows your weight per day or week. It helps to categorize calories based on prescribed meal input, and you change the calorie count based on the size/quantity of the meal. It also integrates physical activities to show meals compared to activities. And it’s simple for the price (free!).

preagannu ,

Exactly what I needed

I love this app it helps me to track my eating and also plan my meals. It’s have a great listing of foods to help with you food diary! You can find just about anything and also add to the list. I love how you can also track you workouts and calories burned. There are so many added features that’s keep you knowledgeable to attain you goals!

AuntRainey ,

Fabulous

I’d give it a 5 but adding food can be a pain and the calories on the camera results are often wrong and I couldn’t find any way to edit them. Not a great deal off - just maybe 10 calories or so, but still ... Adding a brand new food can be more steps than I’d like - Probably because I’m on my iPhone - but I wouldn’t be staying on my diet without it so I’m grateful it’s here and it really is incredibly useful.

jevxz ,

The help your looking for

Fat Secret is a life saver! Learn to eat nutritious foods, by looking at the reports they give you. Eat the required calories and you will loose! They figure your calorie intake by your age, activity level, & gender. I had to recalculate my activity level down to sedentary to start loosing. It’s melting off. I also started drinking lemon water 32 oz. a day. Put the peeled lemon in the glass! Even my dietician loves it.

Nononsense4 ,

Excellent food tracker

I’m using fat secret to help me cut down on the carbs and boost my protein. The app breaks it all down for me and I can track my weight too. The food label scanner works like magic, pulling in food data in seconds. Very thoughtfully designed, feature rich, I love it! You can’t fix what you can’t measure - this app keeps me on track and has been eye opening!

Skeeling83 ,

Great help in weight loss!

I've tried a lot of things in the last five months to help me lose about 25 pounds. Nothing was working at all! I started using this App on January 27th... It is now February 11th and I have lost 7.4 pounds so far. Two weeks and a day. Don't get me wrong, I had a couple cheat days here and there. If you put the effort in, you can do it with the help of this app.

_michaelsgirrrrrrl ,

Down 16 lbs!

I couldn’t imagine my day to day life without this app! Having a strict 1200 cal daily intake has been so easy to track using this every single time I eat anything! Looooove it! And love that I can track my weight and see how much progress I’ve made! So much better and more user friendly than the most recommended calorie tracker, myfitnesspal. Love love love this one!

oreams ,

FatSecret

Great easy informative love it learning a lot and I recognize where I need to adjust my eating habits. Tracking helps to pass up extra snacks. Being able to eat a variety and the same foods as the family makes it better. Checking to see if l need the full serving or if I’m satisfied with less makes a difference with tracking. Thanks

Marylooooo ,

This app is awesome

I was using another app that was very popular and it virtually had no features unless you upgraded and paid a weekly fee – – it was ridiculous. With this app I’ve already lost 16 pounds. It’s easy to use and I’m not being hassled every five minutes to give them money. I highly recommend this app for anybody who wants to lose, maintain, or gain.

DavidCorbly ,

This Should Be a Fully Paid App

I’ve been using FatSecret for years to help maintain a healthy weight and monitor my intake of proteins, fats, carbs, sugars and salts. I log *everything*! Can’t imagine not having this app. So far the paid version doesn’t haven features I need, but if the company ever decided to change to a fully-paid model at a reasonable price, I’d be up for that.

jcjunky4ever ,

Awesome Support

Fat Secret helps to manage and log your input and output, but the best part is the comradery between you and the other members. When you lose a pound or gain one, people are there to encourage and support you. It’s great to see other people’s success stories and learn from them as well. Not to mention the wonderful recipe ideas you gather from the site as well.

Afro Mama ,

Life changing!

I love this app! So easy to use, and no annoying ads popping up all the time like in other calorie tracker apps. I love that it tracks calories and macros. I’ve lost 7 pounds so far this month, tracking my calories and macros on this app, plus using the Peloton app daily. I feel very in charge and empowered in my weight loss journey using these two apps.

MB066 ,

Fatsecret app

A terrific app to assist me in staying disciplined and make better choices. I preload what I intend to eat and can make a choice whether to increase, decrease, add something or subtract an item(s). No more guess work or rationalizing. I can see that a handful if chocolate and an extra glass of wine at night before bed is 500 cal. That knowledge helps me realize the benefit in the moment is simply not worth it!

klaus0000001 ,

Review of FatSecret

Awesome app. Perfect for tracking macros and (some) nutrients. It has pretty much everything I eat and from there all you need to do is know the serving. It helps me see how my body reacts to certain calorie surpluses and helped me gain muscle without fat. It shows you your macro split(super helpful) so you are aware of where your calories are coming from. All of that for free.

ez pzy ,

EASY PEAZY

Finally found an easy nutrition tracker or rather another one, other one was discontinued. This one is easy to use, very little navigation required. Has lots of food brands to choose from. Laid out nicely and flows from one content to another.

All I want and need is to track calories and fat.

If you don’t want needless fluff then try this one.

Thanks.

Alfisch ,

A great tool - And getting better all the time.

I have use this weight-loss tracking program for several years now and I am very impressed as of late with how user-friendly it has gotten. It’s easy to find your food, select, adjust the amounts and save meals that you eat frequently. I find when I’m not using it is when I gain.

MAMAMIADREA ,

Best kept secret

I like that I can sync my information with my health app on my iPhone. I like being able to keep track of what I eat and drink and my EXERCISE and I’m able to use it with my registered dietitian in the program I am in. I just learned that a friend of mine uses the app as well and that’s the one thing I can’t see on the app on my phone is how to search for other friends. Am I missing it? How do I do that? Otherwise very functional and a very useful tool.

Simple and fast

The easiest app out there that I’ve food to maintain a food diary. It has a massive library of foods already stored in its database, but if what you’re eating isn’t in there, it’s fairly easy to add it in. The great part about that is that once it’s in there, it stays in there, so that it’s easier for you to search for that item again in the future.

Recipe building not easy

I like everything about Fat Secret except when building recipes, there aren’t bigger and smaller measurements to pick, so for instant on spices, there might not be tablespoon to pick or for canned foods you have to put in grams instead of ounces, for pounds of meat you have to pick 3 or 4 ounces times 3 or 4 instead of having pound as a measurement to pick or I had to pick 1/2 of 1/4 for smaller amounts of spices. Very frustrating.

Bens& Danielle ,

Great App

I’ve been using Fat Secret for about six years. It’s great for tracking my calories with their large and accurate database of foods. It’s also easy to add any new foods items that are not in the database. The app also connects to my Apple Watch to factor in how many calories I’ve burned throughout the day. Fat Secret makes tracking my health easy and convenient.

Kate new name ,

Easy to use, huge list of foods, easy to add your own

It’s a good straightforward app, with chat and following options if you want community on your way. I’d ask to add option to copy foods from previous days and insert in current day, and maybe to star foods to curate list of my favorites myself. All the rest is fine, convenient and easy

Fat Secret

Haven’t really tried anything like this before now but have used it for about 3 months. Really helps me keep track of calories, carbs, protein and fat. The exercise portion doesn’t match my stationary cycle ... always gives me 3x what my bike says I burned. I just adjust it by decreasing my minutes til it is close to actual calories burned. I intend to keep using it unless something better comes along!

egrohd ,

Free and easy to use!

I was paying for Noom but I like this app even more, and it’s free! I haven’t used any paid options. I like the social aspect — it’s like old old Facebook in style, which I find comforting and amazing. Everyone is supportive and posts interesting and honest updates. And the calorie and macro counter seems to be accurate and reliable.

Unhappy(number2) ,

Fairly easy to use and counts calories

If you do what you are supposed to, soon, you will be losing weight. Very good tracker that seems to have all the foods and their nutritional info or at least close enough. The more you use it the easier it is to use.

My take on weight loss: count the calories and go for walk.

My story

I didn’t think I had a hard time loosening since Covid I put on more weight and I was sad and depressed since my niece told me about fat secrets I have lost from 207.8 to 202.2 and I feel already so much better I can put my shoes on with out having to struggle I’m so glad I found this fat secret specially because I don’t have money to pay for the blessing this fat secrets Silvia is giving me thank you so much.

SoFloSoFawny ,

This App is the Key!

This app is the key to mindful eating. I've been using the app for two months and I love that I've reduced my caloric intake AND my BELLY FAT! The easy to use app has forced me to look at meal content, regulate portion control & stop over-eating. I have not changed anything else. The only drawback is there are no instructions and no help menu so you need to figure out input yourself. How do you correct a wrong input date?

mprentice ,

Awesome app! Well organized and easy to use

I’ve been using a well known competitor to this app and I have to say, I’m super impressed and decided to cancel my subscription to the other app. This one gives me everything I need. It’s very easy to use, well laid out, and intuitive. Everything is right where you would expect it. Love this app!

Rsvcp2 ,

The best app that is free for tracking all your macronutrients

Incredible app ! I use to have a my fitness pal subscription to track all my macros but I had to find ways to save money and so decided to opt for an app that offers what myfitnesspal offers for a discounted price or even better free! So when I stumbled upon FatSecret I got hooked immediately ! Try it out !

Chappy3469 ,

Comprehensive and easy to use

I used FatSecret several years ago and lost 50 pounds. I’ve gained it back. I tried everything to loose this weight but realized I need to use the app again. Today’s app is a mature app greatly improved with easy to use features that are awesome. Especially the ability to scan barcodes. Thanks !

lightingwolf66 ,

Amazing app.

I love this app it’s helping me feel so much better than I ever was before. It helps me physically and mentally relax just by working out and counting your daily calories. It will help you lose weight and feel better again. I highly recommend it if you’re wanting to take charge and feel better again.

Blessed at 54 ,

Fat Secret

I LOVE the Fat Secret!!!! It is soooo easy to use and allows me to keep a record of my macros! I love that I can record foods from other countries as I sometimes use British products. I also love how it records my weight loss journey! Lastly, the Reports feature provides helpful and comprehensive information for my nutritionist. It really shows the real picture of what I have eaten. GO FAT SECRET!!!!

Cindy in cornfields ,

What would I do?

I use this APP at every meal. It helps me count my carbs and fat. My doctor told me how many carbs to eat to stay away from taking diabetes insulin. So far so good! I’m going on 8 years since I found I was diabetic and this APP has really helped me stay on track!!!!

I’ve now been using the APP for about 18 years! Is that possible? I still love it.

MissChunky217 ,

From 2014 s desktop to Apple app

It’s amazing I thought I lost this site because it wasn’t an app when I originally started using it in 2012 nor did it have this much details. I’m excited and so happy that I am able to adjust and pick up where I am now and document and with the newer details I can track

sue whid-mart ,

Great food tracker

Very simple, I love the scan bar feature for adding foods to my meal time. I also love checking the graphs at the end of the week or during my day to see how my progress goes. I also paid extra for water chart. Easy to add new foods and find all most everything I eat or drink on their food list.

Think Healthy ,

Good app

This a good app to log calories and see how much your daily food intake distributes across fat, carbs, and protein. It’s assisting in making better food choices. I wish it would break out saturated fat, sodium, and sugar on the summary page. If you want to get a meal plan then it costs but, overall, I think it’s a good app. Better than many others I have tried including weight watchers and noom.

InnerLandscape ,

Review of FatSecret

I find it a great app that does not intrude with unnecessary ads or gimmicks, and instead provides me with exactly what I want in terms of finding food, keeping track of calories, and weight goals. Haven't really used the home/community aspect of it, but at a glance it looks to be a nice simple way to discover new recipes and other various things.

rachebodcrane ,

Wow! Truly awful

I downloaded the app and tried to calculate my suggested amount of daily calories and the app said that my weight is too low to suggest an RDI! How is that even a reason? I’ve had my rdi calculated by tons of other apps so obviously it’s possible. It made me feel so awful I immediately deleted the app and won’t be using it. I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life and I’m underweight right now due to health issues. I can’t imagine anyone with health issues or an eating disorder being able to use this. Honestly disgusted that the devs wrote that message in the app.

Developer Response ,

Hi rachebodcrane,


Sorry for the terrible experience. We have some weight safety checks inbuilt but it sounds like they may have triggered incorrectly, our apologies. If you could please get in touch with us and we will try and get you sorted.


Thanks for your patience,

Lenny

KStroble ,

Best app to helping you achieve your goals!

I been using this application for many many years and it’s just keeps getting easier and better! Don’t pass up your opportunity, get this app. Whether you are trying to eat healthy, lose weight, or both, you will be glad that you choose the Fat Secrets app!

Khandle ,

Great app

Had a difficult time a finding a free app that would allow me to enter carbs or calories. This one is super allowing me to choose from brand names, create my own menus. Keeps record of weight. Perfect! It will also change the serving size if you need to that. Hope the developers leave this app alone. I t meets all my needs😽

mmomrulzc ,

The best!

This site is easy to use. I can figure out a whole day of calories. It also tells me how many I've used. This also breaks down carbs, fats and protein. I like the weight loss chart. It keeps track of my progress and let's me know how many I have till goal. I've been using this for a year and I don't go a day without it.

coolQTpie ,

The best calorie tracker

I have tried many, many calorie trackers and this is by far the best! It is simple and easy to use. This app shows the breakdown of carbs, fat, and protein. I am writing this review because I am pleasantly surprised at how nice and easy it is to use. I can finally make my weight loss goals because I found a tracker that I can stick with.

arrogantcompany ,

Great calorie finder

This app keeps me honest and on track if I remember to put in all of my snacks. The quantity part is easy to adjust and the app has comparable items if yours are not listed just read the labels on your foods and then you will know how many calories to put in. I am losing about 2 lbs per week. Only used app for 4 weeks but I love it !

uuyririydj ,

Very useful

I started using the app two weeks ago and find it very useful for tracking consumption and weight. It is very comprehensive and contains a data base of foods that has proven very valuable. It is easy to use and allows one to keep to a calorie controlled diet with ease. So far, I have lost 8 lb in 2 weeks without feeling deprived of food.

Foruab ,

Fat Secret

This has been a excellent way to lose weight. I have never counted calories before. I know ahead of eating what I am putting into my body and chose the right number of calories to get through each meal so I can have calories left over for my snacks. Being a diabetic II, I have to eat a certain amount of carbs but not to many. My Doctor is going to love my A1C this next visit.

Joanny P ,

Rating Fat Secret

I’ve been using this app for a couple of weeks now and I’m really enjoying being able to track what I eat. My overall goal is to lose 30lbs in 10lbs increments. Love that it converts the food I eat into calories consumed. Although I did find the app challenging at first I persevered with it and I’m now comfortable with it.

Kathy Dee ,

Fat secret

I’m just learning my way around the app, but I’m impressed with the wide variety of foods in the food library. I can almost always find the exact food, right down to the brand I use! This makes it much less of a chore to track what I’m eating. I am able to easily keep tabs on my carb, protein and fat intake each day. So far it has helped me stick to my “real food” diet and drop pounds!

Lil_faust3 ,

Love this app!

It’s so easy to keep track of how much you eat with this app. It’s easy to over eat and not know the calorie intake of things and this app helps tame the amount you eat. I like creating recipes and I’ll use this app to see how many calories are in what I made. Just because I make something healthy doesn’t mean it calorie free.

Timnlisa ,

Luv Fat Secret

I’ve tried other calorie tracking apps, but Fat Secret has every feature I could want. It’s very easy to use, and I haven’t found a food yet that wasn’t in their library. Perhaps the best feature is that it automatically syncs to My Fitbit, making tracking my exercise and calorie expenditure so much easier.

Guiltypuzzler ,

Streamlined and effective

I’ve used several apps like this, including My Fitness Pal, but found them all a little cumbersome. FatSecret (despite the awful name!) lets you keep track of your nutrition and exercise easily, without piling on a bunch of features that I personally just found distracting. I also love the journaling function!

SProwett ,

The App is great and the developers are semi-responsive

The community of other dieters on their boards are wonderfully supportive as well. But there really needs to be a mechanism to make verifying nutrition information data in their database or reporting inaccurate entries possible. Vendors do put out new products with slightly different information, but sometimes there are just plain data entry errors.

Developer Response ,

Terrific feedback SProwett. We hope to make it better and it's comments like this that really help guide us.


All the best,

The FatSecret team

Moscow Expat ,

Outstanding

I have lost 6 lbs (2.7kg) in 17 days while eating healthy, balanced and filling meals 3x day (plus a snack), not even following a diet plan, just common sense (few or no prepared foods; lots of veggies; chicken and fish; minimizing saturated fats). 85% of losing weight is burning more calories than you consume. This app makes it very easy to count consumption and to make healthy substitutes as necessary.

RhiannonBowers ,

Everything I need

This app does everything I need it to do without trying to sell me something every 5 minutes. I like that I can scan virtually everything and the report options are great. I can watch macros and calories with a simple toggle of a button. Very clean, easy to use program.

Irina_Seattle ,

Enjoying FatSecret

I decided to give it a try. I just wanted my calories and macros look if I start eating with wise choices in mind. I like that you gave food database , receipted, cook book. Also I like being able to make your meals’ photos. Great addition - you can log your exercises to check you calories balance:).

150-149-148-147... ,

It’s working!

It makes me happy to achieve my goal of staying at or under the amount of food I should have each day. It’s enlightening to see how much I love food with fat and carbs!! (I’m working on that...) I’m right on track with one pound loss per week and feel so much better. I even lost my pound after pigging out on Christmas Day. Yay!

Brokerb ,

Love this app

I’ve been using FS app for many years now. It has a great food search and even if it doesn’t locate the food you ate, simply take a picture of the barecode and it will populate.

The only change I would like to see (completely personal) is instead of having meals labeled as breakfast, lunch and dinner to just have it labeled meal #1, meal #2, etc. I eat 6 meals a day not three.

Conservative One ,

Fat Secret App

A great app to keep a record of all your macros. Fat Secret has been a HUGE instrument in my weight loss success. I recommend using this great tool in tracking and monitoring your goal keeping weight loss program. Fat Secret has most popular food macros but, if not, you can enter your private recipes or favorite foods directly into the program.

Capt Mace ,

FatSecret is an excellent app

I have taken upon myself to seek a fitness and nutrition coach to battle prediabetes. FatSecret has been an excellent app to use to track my daily consumption and to make those necessary choices throughout the day.


Instantly I can spot a food that is the best choice for me and know which to avoid. It will be my guide for years to come.

Jake Baadsy ,

Like a fun game of Tetris

I’ve resisted counting calories and macros but finally gave it a shot. It took me a week to get proficient and now I’m loving how this allows me to be so much more aware of what I’m eating and fitting in the pieces like a fun game of Tetris every day. I’m pleasantly surprised with the comprehensive database of foods that makes the whole process easier than I thought.

Pannnizzz ,

Way easier calories tracking

It makes it really easy to track all the calories you use during the day just by taking a photo or entering the name of the product you used you easily can calculate and keep a diary on what you ate how much calories you use How much weight you lost your goal and ...

PS: it would be really great if they added a barcode scanner.

Gymnastics_liz1 ,

Simple, to the point

What makes this site great is that it allows you to be as straightforward As possible. All I want is to log calories and see how much of a nutrient I'm lacking. No social stuff. I have everything I need here to be successful and I LOVE that it does not add back my workout calories when I log exercise!

irish ei ,

Getting fit in my 50’s

This app has been very easy and addicting to use. This is my first time at calorie counting when dieting and I find it extremely helpful when making the proper choices that keep me satisfied. So far so good...two weeks in and 6lbs down with roughly another 10 to go.

tony traveler ,

it works when i work it!

fantastic tool to stay on target. the app allows you to work out the kinks of a healthy diet. I am making my way towards a possible vegan future from a cold climate happy meat eater, and this app allows me (as a diy happy research nerd) to keep tweaking the details and percentages and ratios for a perfect fit as i do more research and learn more. 👍🏻👍🏾😊

Cyberpunk_2077 ,

great app but cant change language(can change region)

The local food library don’t support other languages or search experience so bad when your phone’s language setting is different with Region settings.

So I suggested to add language change support to overcome this awkward situation with just a little tweaks.

I’d be very appreciated and recommend this great app to others since they would need this function too.

dlackie2788 ,

Good app

I like this app a lot, but had a hard time figuring it out. If you skip the start up, there’s no way, (that I could find), how to go back and find out how to maneuver through the app. Once I figured it out, it was easy. I really like how you can put in any food or drink in and it’ll tell you how many calories everything is. Also, how much fat, protein, etc.

Brooklyn Boomer ,

Flexible and Adaptable

Visual cues, data rich and well laid out interface gives simplicity to weight management. Gave 5 stars as will probably migrate to Pro version as believe if a more refined food search is available and if not, given their level of details found in the free version, this upgrade will be added.

CBowse ,

Love! But one suggestion.

Edit: since the iOS 11 update I haven’t been able to sync my Fitbit with FS :(


Love everything about this app


One suggestion though: it would be much easier if you were able to type in quantities rather than having to scroll. I work primarily in grams so having to scroll to big numbers can be a little tedious sometimes.

mariekhaze ,

Easy to use

Love this app. It’s he easiest calorie counter by far. I just type a few words in and they have everything from fast food to items I can buy in most grocery stores.

Then, it also saves the last items you chose so it makes it easy to input again.

Jentera ,

Great!

This is a great simple calorie counter with NO ADS and you don’t have to upgrade. The one thing that would be cool is if it took into account automatically...how many steps you took in a day. In other words, if you walked 15,000 steps one day, you should have a higher caloric allowance for that day. The app sees the steps that your phone registers but it’d be cool if it automatically adjusted the calorie allowance.

charley's best friend ,

Great App!

Its food listings by brand and specific type (for example Epic protein bars and nuts by brand) make it so easy to keep my food diary and know exactly what I am eating each day. And the detailed reports are amazing. I also like the social media part of the app where you can interact with other people who are on a similar journey. Fantastic app! I love it!

OhheyitsJen1414 ,

FatSecret: 5 Stars :)

No ads, no in app purchases, and it’s free.

Includes a large list of just about all the popular brands and foods, and when it isn’t on their list, you’re able to add a custom food or new recipes.

They show the amount of calories, fats, protein, and carbs in the foods you eat and it shows your progress throughout the week. It’s helped my maintain my diet well.

What you do is sign in and enter your weight, height, and goals. Then everyday you enter your weight and the foods you eat. They calculate the nutrients you consume and calories and allow you to track important nutrients you need.


Overall a great app and deserves 5 stars

Mike & Lucy ,

Well thoughtful software

I am loving this software. It has good reports and great list of foods and meals. Plus a great list of restaurant foods. It breaks down each item to macro nutrients which allows me to see what I am consuming. When comparing a few days of meals the macro listing is really eye opening.

Over all Great software. Would add to printed reports all exercise.

Ycam20012 ,

Great App

Love this app. Easy to use with an endless data base of food from your favorite restaurants to the lowliest snack you can think of. Punch it in, or search it, fat secret will tell you what the content of the food in an instant. Lost 67 pounds using this app to make my meals. I gained all but 10 of it back. I’m back at and have lost 15 pounds so far. Great app!!

LANoCaGal ,

Great Tool

Simple formula calories in and calories out. Tool allows you to track your intake through a large library of food selections. It can link to exercise devices to track your output. As with any tool you have to use and it is only good as the input. Be honest; you will see results and behavior changes.

Kateller ,

Great app

Love this app for recording food. I can take a picture of the barcode of the product and it gives me the calories and details. I also save meals that I eat frequently so that saves me time.

I like being reminded of taking my weight once a week.

Just a great little app that is super easy to use.

Suezzzzzzzzzzzzz ,

Best app!

I use this app constantly to plan my meals and track calories as well as carbs, fats, and proteins. I weigh my food, so I appreciate that the app allows me to enter most foods based upon weight, rather than just the number of servings. I have lost and maintained my weight and general health primarily through the dedicated daily use of this app.

Pitboy7 ,

So easy!!

This app has allowed me to lose weight and track every single thing I am eating. You don’t realize what you’re eating and less you’re tracking and this makes it so easy! It allows you to put in your weight track your weight your food at your exercise it’s awesome!

EnjoyingtheWeeklyPicks ,

Pretty Cool App

I enjoy using this app. I like to see how the calories change if fat is added or not. There is a nice selection of foods already listed. It is helpful to monitor my energy as well (how what I eat makes me feel at different parts of the day). At first I thought that I was obsessed with tracking calories - but this app truly has helped me develop of lifestyle of healthy living.

Mandy's MacBook Pro ,

Help button needed now

I need to share my tracking info with my doctor. When I went to use the share feature I noticed my email address had a typo in it. When I go to account settings there is no way to edit the address and no help button to help me change it. I need to share this info in the next 24 hours. Any help?

CoolieGirl79 ,

Great App

I’ve been using this app for a few years and it’s improved so much. I like the vast selection of food in their database and the fact you can scan food barcode. It tracks exercise as well and breaks down your food by carbs, fat, sugar etc if you’re doing Keto and it’s free! There is a subscription for more features but I’ve been doing great with the free option!

skipster456 ,

Easy to use!

Love being able to create my own recipes. Improvements needed: to able to enter exact ounces instead of spinning the dial and choosing from a predetermined number. I have to use the website for those entries, with no camera ability for scanning. Still great!!

Mmmc129 ,

Great way to be aware

I use the app to track my food intake and exercise each day. I feel it keeps me honest and also allows me to provide to my doctor a true list of what I’ve done to eat healthier and exercise. This app has helped me lose 12 pounds in a little over two months. I’m hoping for another 12 pounds over the next three months!

Cute Gargoyle ,

So easy to use

After setting up the app and learning how to use it, everything becomes so simple to do. It isn’t a large burden on your time to enter all the information and it displays the relevant information back to you in a clear, easy to read way.

Minnesota Mad Man ,

Love this... for many years now

This is the most straight forward meal tracker. I’ve used a bunch over the years and I keep coming back. True story: when I lost 28 lbs in five months... I used this app. Went Keto ish. Lots of walking. Gym 3-4 days/ week. Then I stopped and gained 10 back. I am serious again. Fat Secret keeps me on track.

leinma2 ,

Easy to use!

This app has so easy to use!

I have been able to track my eating and become more conscious about my daily food choices. There are so many food choice in the program and it is so easy to add items not found. Well done! I am having success with my weight management. Yay!

Irish Pretzel ,

Best free app for diet and weight loss

For FREE I am able to track weight, share my journey with my trainer and Dietition through automated emails. Syncs to my Apple Watch. Works especially well with low carb diets because it tracks net carbs as well as macro %. Only app I’ll ever use. Syncs seamlessly between watch, phone and desktop version. I lost 180 pounds thanks to FatSecret.

Bigsquish2grace ,

For the first time Fat (secret) is my friend!

I love this app. Super user friendly way to track your food and see fats, carbs and protein at a glance. Has great resources to look up foods and their nutritional values. Tons of restaurants listed too. Also a journal you can use if so inclined and there’s a very supportive community as well. One of the best perks is it’s FREE! I highly recommend FS.

JWLoper63 ,

If used right, can change your lifestyle

The app is useful in keeping track of your daily intake. The key is to be diligent and be honest. Suggest you get a digital kitchen scale (measure in both grams and ounces) to be most efficient. Very impressed with the huge assortment of food options loaded in; makes things easier.

Sternmaniac ,

Best App I’ve ever downloaded

This app is life changing! The ability to monitor everything I eat has made me healthier. I’m trying to eat Keto and it wouldn’t be possible without this app. It’s amazing! I used it no less than 15 times a day to record something or read about others and their stories.

Yoboyobo6 ,

Really like this app

I have really enjoyed this app! I like the ease of recording what I eat, the community interaction, the recipe sharing and the available challenges. I do wish it had a guideline for how many calories I should be taking in to lose weight. If I just haven’t seen it I would feel bad because I would have given it 5 stars instead of 4.

LAVNDA ,

fatsecret vs myplate

After over six months of tracking on myplate I lost all my data and had to start over. I jumped the myplate ship. It took a little getting used to but there is simply more to this app and tracking is great! More food selections show up on the app and adding a food is so much easier. Thanks fatsecret!

GrandTina ,

Fat Secret

Fat Secret keeps me on track. I put in the food I eat and it tracks calories, etc for me.

There is such a variety of food to choose from your bound to find exactly what you ate or come pretty darn close to it.

I just wish it would track water. I think that a very big part of eating correctly.

NygelLazuline ,

I love it

I know is a bit obnoxious to have a food diary, but since I have the app in this last two months I have keep dropping pounds along with KETO and exercise.

I have recommended to my friends. I love is easy to handle, has an amazing food data and is easy to enter new items to the data base.

Keep the good work.

Farmlabs ,

I’ve been hoping for this

I haven’t been able to find an easy place to find the calorie content for basic ingredients. This has them and makes it easy to chronicle the amounts eaten. For those that have mostly pre-prepared frozen, canned, or boxed items, they’re in here too.

GatorGary ,

Very good free app that is fully functional

The free app is very functional and worth looking at for your food tracking needs. The preloaded restaurants and brands is a great time saver. For stuff you can’t find the exact match you can usually find a substitute or add your own. It caches recently eaten and most eaten which is a great time saver.

INFP_Hufflepuff ,

A lot more user friendly than My Fitness Pal

I prefer this app over My Fitness Pal. It’s very straight forward and way less buggy than MFP. The discussion boards are a lot more congenial as well- A much more welcoming community. If you’re going to actively use a calorie counter & want the best experience, choose this one.

coachmamz ,

Tons of foods to choose from

I am really liking this app. While I think the macro calculator was off a bit the functionality of this app is awesome. Almost every food I have eaten has already been in the library making it especially easy to log foods and stick closely to my numbers

Jojobr ,

This app is so helpful for those on Keto

After months of using MFP and complaining about it not giving their users the option to track net carbs, someone finally told me about Fatsecret. Once I tried it, I couldn’t be more pleased. Sure, the UI and UX need some work, and when you try to submit your own recipes they disappear into the void, but right now it is better than the alternative. At least for me.

Dickster64 ,

Best App for Weight Control

I have used a lot of weight control apps and find this to be the most comprehensive of all. Easy to use, informative and current in it’s information. Some apps have an initial program that is never updated. This one is always current and spot on.

Julie from Kentucky ,

FatSecret is the only way I stay on task!

As long as I stay on FatSecret and chart the food I eat I lose weight. The supporters are kind, respectful and helpful no matter man, woman, young, old, trying to lose or trying to gain. The bodybuilders have been the kindest to me and I am a 69 year old female! I have recommended to all who talk blood results at my age.

Sall223 ,

Wonderful!!

I began a keto lifestyle shortly after finding this app and it has been a godsend. There is every food you can think of, listed here. Keeps track of carbs and fats, along with your weight. I had many different apps downloaded and have deleted all of them except this one. Great job!!

Smckeen ,

Great way to monitor carbohydrate consumption.

I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for 51 years. Fat secret is a vehicle that allows me to get fairly accurate carbohydrate numbers to maintain my insulin dosing. The extensive database of food, and the ability to add items, is much better then just guessing, and after using for a while I can see the improvement in my numbers.

mossdabossmossy ,

Awesome app

Personally I just don’t like the other apps even though they are very popular. With FatSecret I just have everything and want to go and the interface is very friendly. I really like how easy it is to use and also how it shows you visually how much you’re eating and your macros

bparker86 ,

Useful but inflexible with serving size

I could not record “2 tablespoons” of Oat bran. The only options are “cup” or g. Okay, now I have to take out my calculator to do conversions.


Ideally, this app should have every possible way a “serving” can be measured, by volume, weight, or “piece” - and let me choose the serving size “metric” useful to me, without forcing me to use another tool (a conversion calculator for example).

Super easy and intuitive without the clutter

Love this app. I’ve been using it for a long time. When MyFitnessPal sold its soul to the devil. I looked for an app that allowed me to track my weight and food. This app works great! If they had a paid version, I would gladly pay $20 to keep the ads away.

9thsloth ,

Good App with some annoyances

This very well thought and designed app but I have few suggestions. Please consider fixing these and relieve me of my annoyances:

1) Please integrate with apple health app and pull exercise data. Manually entering the exercises and burned calories is very annoying.

2) Please fix the color of the error message, use a contrasting color to the background.

FatSecret

I like the app but wish it had a multi purpose calorie counter that I could use instead of trying to locate some foods because most of what I eat isn’t store prepared, and a choice of serving sizes is sometimes more different than ounces

Today for lunch my wife made a chicken chilly which was only 3 points in her weight watchers but I had to estimate calories 387

Fire2all ,

FatSecret awesomeness

This is the most advanced app we have come across in tracking a food diary. The food search is the most comprehensive and identifies most large chain restaurants and tracery items. We’ve been using it for about 2 years. You just have to commit to logging your food intake.

Practically useless ,

Good app but inaccurate numbers

I really like the app but it needs improvements in two areas:


1. It’s hard to find foods that you recently ate. Just because I had that cheese for lunch doesn’t mean I don’t want it on my dinner options.


2. Scanned foods often inaccurate on nutrition info. I find myself manually inputting the numbers often. And even then it’s hard to find the food in search; it should come up first.


I started using this app after years of using the main competitor; I like it much better but the user experience needs some work.


Oh, and the app doesn’t serve stupid sneaker ads and nonsense I dont care about like some Uther Apps I know.

one.day.at.a.time ,

Works for me!

I have used this app to track calories and progress for several years. You can now track macro nutrients as well. There are a lot of grocery and restaurant items listed in there and it is easy to put in lesser known recipes and ingredients to customize your app.

jim e johnson ,

FatSecret

Love this app.... u don’t have to pay a million dollars like fitness pal and it’s just as robust... I’m an avid weightlifter and this allows me to keep close tabs on my Macros... A++ highly recommend this app for people who workout and watch a strict diet.. and even for people who don’t workout but are looking to closely monitor their macros/diet.

Andi 1104 ,

Great app!

This is a really great app for tracking calories and exercise. It has many items in the food database making it quick and easy to track items. I’ve only used the free features but it offers menus for a fee which look interesting.

Jimcaran ,

Great app!

I’ve used this app for years and it’s a wonderful way to really keep track of your diet. It’s kept me accountable and it’s surprised me when I’ve found out that a meal was way more calories than I thought. For people wanting to lose weight I think an app like this can be a great help.

imnally ,

Great food tracker!

I absolutely love this nutrition app! The exercise portion is difficult and I don’t really feel that part is a hundred percent accurate. But logging food is super easy and I haven’t run into a food that isn’t already in the bank. I have no trouble monitoring my nutrition and tracking my weight goals.

K9WTF ,

Almost perfect...

Easy to use and nicely feature packed.

Only real complaint is that I would like to see Net Carbs in the report screens, rather than total carbs. Or, at least include the option to select net or total carbs.

Oh, also... the nutrition information calculations go wonky when changing portions (oz, g, cup, 1/4 cup, etc) sometimes, especially when building a recipe.

DaAudiGuy ,

Really helpful app

I've been using this app on a daily basis for over 4 years now. I love the ability to scan bar codes and to look up items by restaurant. I also like that it syncs to the desktop application. Occasionally it will time out, but that seems to be getting better with recent updates.

#happynana ,

More comprehensive tracking

I’ve used other apps but find this one to have double plus the range of tracking and it takes into account age also rather than just height and weight when factoring RDI. I am also borderline diabetic so this is tremendously helpful in that respect.

Bobby the frog ,

Good app only suggestion is...

I wish they had a “quick add”

Option for just putting in something quick where you know the calories and it isn’t in the database. You have to enter the whole recipe I just would like to be able to quickly enter a calorie amount sometimes. Otherwise I like the app

Jturner2013 ,

This app is fantastic

It’s keeping me on track for once after years of thinking I was doing fine without understanding why I wasn’t making enough progress. It’s amazing. You need to have discipline to make entries a lot bit their database has a lot of info already

Mel4cowz ,

Lost 8 pounds in a month

My New Years resolution was to prioritize my health. I’m journaling, meditating, and wanted to lose weight all as part of the package. Nothing ever worked for me, no diet, or exercise could shed the pounds. Then I joined this app for a study. Omg, I had NO idea how much I was overeating! Simple changes to portions have changed my life. Thank you FatSecret!

Old Man On The Run ,

Returning User

I got away from FatSecret for a few months and paid the price. During the Covid crisis is the time I should have been latched up. I am back on track and the improvements in this App makes it a lot easier to keep on schedule with my diet and activity. Thank you FatSecret!

#spiritdancer ,

Great app

Helped me lose the last stubborn 10lbs by allowing me to see where my calorie intake needed to be in order to get my body in the necessary caloric deficiency for my body. Weighing in daily and seeing my weight graph steadily head I the right direction was a huge inspiration. I like that you can add foods to the database as well.

Okorombo ,

FatSecret is the ultimate BEST app hands-down!!!

FatSecret is the BEST food tracking tool hands-down. It is very flexible yet versatile and gives me ALL the tools I need to track my calories by the major macronutrients Carbs, Protein & Fats to minute details.

I love it and signed up to use it for a year after 2 weeks.

I highly recommend FatSecret App

jenndbeal ,

Simple and effective!

I love how easy it is to use. It saves things use eat often to make adding them quicker. Wonderful ease of interaction with others(or not if you prefer). It’s amazing to actually see what you’re eating and the breakdowns of it as well. Highly recommend!

Candicebeth ,

Great app to help you lose weight

This is a great app it allows you to keep track of all your weight loss goals, meals and even gives you tips. You also have a community of people who are all doing the same thing and help one and other with motivation and encouragement. Great app!!

Allan88889999 ,

Makes it easy to count calories

This app is easy to use. It has a very large menu of food items - both generic and brand names - which makes it simple to keep track of your caloric intake. It integrates with my Fitbit so I can track how many calories I have burned versus consumed.

1phoebee2 ,

FatSecret is super!

FatSecret has been such a great help in keeping me on track for maintaining my weight loss of 50 pounds for about 5 years now! I just wish that every item in every restaurant could be found but so many are there that it’s very helpful. Could items be listed alphabetically?

No of the above ,

Works well

Great app, would have given five stars but I think it’s missing somethings. Can’t always find the meal I am about to eat , and adding the ingredients one at a time can become a bit consuming. Non the less it gets the job done . With my Exercise routine I have already lost 4 lbs in the two weeks that I have been using this app.. 🙌🏽

Jig2.0 ,

Simplistic

This app is so easy to use. It basically does EVERYTHING for you automatically. I love that it takes away so much of the guessing in eating. I see clearly the amount of calories a particular food contains. I’m sold. And YES, it is sooo much easier and less intrusive than the competitor “mfp” shhh! 🤷🏾‍♂️ ijs. Ok, guys please mail me my check. Lol

Jasenbeste7 ,

It helps lose weight in a society that eats so poorly

It's is nearly impossible to eat right if you don't eat most meals at home. Accounting firm snacking really shows how calories ad up. I would like to see this app coordinate with the apple health app to take steps and other physical activities into account

IronMan's Iphone ,

Works good in almost every aspect

I'm happy using this app! Only concern is not able to add workout & calories burnt from a different app!! It would be great if there can be integration with Nike apps as well(like Nike training , Nike+ Run club ) specially these two! I’m happy with the integration of health app on iOS and looking forward for the above mentioned integration in the next versions hopefully 🤞

Sparks time to shine ,

Fantastic for counting grams

I’m on a strict low carbohydrate (30) grams per day, low protein (12) ounces per day high fat (as much to satisfy hunger) WFKD (Well formulated ketone diet) to help lower my blood glucose.

This app is fantastic for helping me keep track of the grams and I love how it shows the percentage and also the macro nutrients.

It is also the easiest food app I’ve used.

Seastar luv ,

Love it!!💕💕💕

Fat Secret is so helpful and such great reports. Super easy to use and love all the details and graphs.. oh and especially love being able to scan the label to post food eaten. Only request is a place for daily notes & possible time stamp for time meal was eaten. Thank you thank you! Finally losing weight. A great app

Ramy J. ,

Makes tracking So Easy!!!

I was reluctant to track my macros because it sounded tedious, but this app makes it so easy! The app has a huge database of store brand and name brand products, plus it only takes a few minutes to add in new items or even your own recipes!

Pharahblue ,

What happened to the text size?

I love this app but I can barely see the text now! It is so tiny! It must have happened with one of the updates.


I even tried to make the text on my phone bigger and it didn’t help. Am I missing a new setting somewhere?


It is difficult to use the app when I struggle to read it! And I really don’t want to change to another app. I love this one!!

Great free app!! ,

Great free app

Overall I like this App because it’s so easy to use. I like that there are a lot of foods that are searchable. After a while, I did see a lot of incorrect information which isn’t great because I end up checking against another source like Google. Maybe a review of new foods before they are added to the database would help.

Artosthebear ,

Best and easiest way to track calories

I LOVE this app! It makes it so incredibly easy to keep track of my daily calories and I’ve already dropped a few pounds after using it for just a few weeks! My friend recommended it to me and I’m so glad she did. It’s easy and it works!

tater lady ,

Keeps me on track

I have used the app now for three weeks and have lost a few pounds. It is so easy to track and plan your meals. Mostly it helps me make better choices. I can even look up restaurant menus so I can make healthier choices when I’m out and about. Really cool recipes too.

jcskgdydtidohf ,

Excellent app!

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but this is a GREAT app—especially if you are organized bordering on obsessive like I am. It is very easy to keep track of calories in/out, and I’ve been quite surprised at some of the less common foods that are already in the database.

communication765 ,

EASY TO USE

This app is simple and easy to use. I track my food intake daily. It provides a graph that shows a lot of information.


It has many other apps within the app to use. However, for me tracking and seeing what eat daily is very helpful.

jcsdream ,

Helps to track calories

Really helps to have this app and monitor my daily intake and ensure that I stay on track with my target calorie intake for the day. I have achieved much success with the help of this app do you lose weight. I don’t think I could’ve done such a great job without it.

Punkie59 ,

Punkie 59

Have been using this app for +/- 7 years. I actually tried others just to see how I’d like them, but none compared to this one. I love it!

Easy to use once you learn how to maneuver through.

I have lost about 50 pounds since the beginning by keeping track of my food intake.

Try it...I recommend it for sure!

Alix4015 ,

Works well, syncs to Fitbit

Mostly really like this app. I suspect I weigh more food than other people, so it can be a bummer when I want to put in the number of oz or mLs my serving was and I can’t. But there are tons of foods in here that I eat already, it’s fun to look at recipes, and not too difficult to enter a recipe of your own. Working well for me so far.

GrandKidzMama ,

Try FatSecret you will be glad you did!

I stated using Fat Secret in November 2018. By September 2019 I reached my weight loss goal of 75 pounds!


I lost this weight strictly using the app. I have told all my friends and family about this app and I highly recommend it!!


I was able to get off my cholesterol and blood pressure medications and I had a lot of problems with a fallen arch that required insoles, shots, and orthotics. Now I don’t need any of them! How awesome is that!


I am currently 67 and if I can lose weight so can you, just use the app!!!


Thank you FatSecret you were critical in helping me turn my life around!!

Awesome appppppppz ,

Great, but there is occasional bugs and misinformation as far as calories...

I like that you can enter your own products. Beware! Nutrition is not always accurate!! Check labels!


If you are custom setting your calories be careful as it is buggy and you may risk over or under eating as you are looking at the total calories.

Cindympc ,

Mostly a good app

It’s certainly easy to work in, but the recent food list and most eaten need to include all meals. If I have something for dinner, and eat the same for lunch the next day, I can’t find it for easy adding. I also wish it would import recipes from the common food sites, as a starter for adding new recipes. So far, I’m choosing to stay in this one, instead of MFP, that I’ve used before.

Nms84 ,

Awesome App!

In November I had Gastric Sleeve surgery. This app makes it so easy to track everything I’m eating. Make sure I’m staying within my daily limits in certain areas. And tracks my water intake. This is a lifesaver so I don’t have to calculate it myself. I will recommend and share with my family and friends.

YoyoWarrior ,

Excellent!

This is a great app for those who really have the will to lose weight. If you have a trainer, you can have them added to your account to view your daily food intake and exercise. Really makes you accountable for your goals, and helps achieve them. And... It’s FREE. Can’t go wrong.

pnut319 ,

Frustrating!

It was really frustrating trying to enter personalized recipes here. While I could enter just about anything from the details page of an ingredient into my food diary (such as a cup of mayo!) I was often limited to single serving sizes when trying to add to the recipe! This totally defeats the purpose of my moving to this app, as I was hoping the nutritional information would be more accurate than the one I am currently using. But if I can’t get a recipe in without pulling my hair out... not an option for me. :(

Developer Response ,

Hey pnut319, so sorry for the frustration with recipes, we want you to keep all your hair ;)


Adding certain ingredients to a recipe can be tricky when it's a branded food and we know that it needs to be better. Please get in touch with us at contact@fatsecret.com and we'll try and help as best we can.


Thanks for your patience and for giving us a go,

Pitstop User ,

Wow

Was using MyFitnessPal for a while but this is so much better. It’s not just about the calories - they’ve really thought it through! Wish the interface was a little less complicated and used more of standard practices like other apps. But it’s still great!

Caterlyn ,

Not Friendly for Breastfeeding Mothers

This is a great app for counting calories and watching protein and fat intake. But I am a breastfeeding mother who needs 500 extra calories daily and different dietary needs, so when this app tells me I'm 119% above my recommended daily intake, I know my intake is fine but I still wish I could change the RDI. Also it's hard to input homemade meals. But it's hard to do that in any calorie counting app.

arsalon1 ,

MyFitnessPal alternative

I have been using MyFitnessPal for years. Since under armor took over it has gone down hill. The last security breech was the last straw. I switched to FatSecret and could not be happier. All the functionality is there without the bugs and obnoxious ads. Great app!

Mrs. McV ,

Best food tracking app yet

I’ve used at least three other “top” food tracking apps and this is by far the best. Huge database, easy to add new items, intuitive interface, and ability to select multiple items before saving to a meal. Love this app!!!

enoughwithnickname ,

Best App for keeping track of what your eating.

Rated 10 for me. Helps remind me of portions, calories, fats, carbs, protein and

sodium. I loss 15lbs in 90 days. I was able to Keep it off for a year. I went on a cruise this month and gained 5 lbs. I pulled out my app to get me back on track.

Simple to use and highly recommend.

EspoA90 ,

Absolutely the best calorie tracker available

I have been using this app to track calories since about 2014 and it has been great. It also links to a number of smart trackers to make for easy calorie expenditure and excercise tracking along side the dietary tracking.

Isabelleduboy ,

Love it

This up has helped me understand that everything that you put in your mouth has calories. If you don’t count your calories you will never be able to lose some pounds. So it has helped me a lot in my journey of regaining a healthy weight.

chasemanhattan16 ,

Fat Seceret is the Secret to my success

Fat secret is awesome. My weight was at a stand still because I wasn’t counting my calories accurately. I was doing it sort of intuitively. As soon as I started using Far Secret the fat started to decrease and this my overall weight. Fat Secret has been my secret weapon. Try it you won’t be sorry. Chase

Jodie jojo ,

I like FatSecret

Helps me follow my exercise and my food intake. Love the ability to find calorie count for most foods. Enjoy the exercise log that helps compare calories in with calories out. Like the recipe section and read comments on the home page daily. The participants are inspiring. So far, 5 lbs gone 😁

Oahu Clay ,

Great data base

I have used it for several years, it’s very smooth, possibly from a lot of tweaking after being around for so long. I’m using it for keto now which was not its intended design but I prefer it due to the extensive data base of food products it has.

razl00 ,

Just amazing to use

Can’t believe how seamless this is to use. I love being able to look up any brand for info or adding my own if it’s new. Keeping track of macros and calories for me makes eating right so easy, makes planning easy. And that’s with the free version!

Run.play.sun.AZ ,

Best App for tracking

I have been using this app for years and I love it. The selection of food both packaged and make your own is far better than any other app I have found. It is easy to change serving sizes and estimate food. I will never stop using fat secret.

Stacicass ,

Free version easy to use

Super helpful app that you can set up with your own targets. Many foods to choose from, including brands, while updating your food intake. Haven’t figured out how to make a correction once saved, so be sure every entry is accurate before saving!

JSpicer151 ,

Best Fitness App

I’ve use this app for 3 years now. This app will help you track your calories, and your exercises. You can even set goals, and have access to a community through it. It has helped me lose and sustain weight through it’s impressive food library.

meripng78 ,

Count both calories and carbs..

I was looking for an app that I could track both my calories and carbs that didn't charge an arm and a leg. After a lot of searching I found it, and this is it. Im loving it so far. Switching over from a very popular calorie counting app. Thanks so much. Great job.

Jus1more ,

Fat secret review

I think the app is definitely comparable to MyFitnessPal. Fat secret has everything you need for people trying to lose weight or serious trainers. I wish they had more of the specialty items like vegan protein bars, non dairy ice cream and specific items like that. Overall it’s great though

2O5H13 ,

It works!

You have to he honest with yourself, and the app. Enter everything. Accurately. Take the time to get it right.


No littke snacking here and there. If you aren't going to take thd time to enter it, then don't eat eat it.


Stick to the plan and use this app for everything. And it will work!

Lb2cats ,

Helpful

Nice app with easy to use features. This has really helped me be more aware of my diet. Really love the scan a label component which helps with diary input & also when shopping. Haven’t used the recipes but the restaurant menu function is great. A lot of information and diary capabilities in a free app.

Iwtbla ,

Useless

I can not even get past the sign in when I put in skip it took me to the food which I also could not put anything in. This is the most frustrating useless piece of junk ever! I have your old ap which worked perfectly until you jerks took away where I could put in the actual amount of food I was going to eat. I use grams, I am diabetic and I need a carb count to figure out my insulin. I am beyond angry at you people! Hopefully I can find an ap that does work because yours is crap!

Developer Response ,

Sorry for your frustration, we hear you loud and clear. Can you please get in touch with us and we will try and help you get going again.


All the best,

Lenny

Diananthedesert ,

Great app for weight loss!

Pretty easy to use. Great way to track your food intake. There’s many restaurants on the app so you can check calories and nutrition before ordering. For food that you eat in your own, if it isn’t on the app you can add with a few easy steps!!!

kellkeki ,

This app has been a game changer for me!

Love this app, super easy to use and very accurate. I want to safely lose 1-2 lbs a week, so I can keep it off! I’m surprised that I’m losing weight by counting calories and working out a few times per week. It always goes back to the basics and moderation! Thanks Fat Secret!

10192011 ,

Needs a block option

Functionally it's the best food tracking app I've tried in years but holy crap they have no moderation and no way to block the people who troll. It's mostly vegetarians and vegans trying to gross people out by commenting on their food photos. I'm not asking them to delete them by hand, just let me ban them from seeing my stuff or commenting on my stuff. Basic app stuff.

FerCalderonChile ,

Completely in love with the App!

A complete Fitnnes tool! It’s so handy and easy to use. I totally love it! I can track every meal and get the best info out of it. Also love it coz I’m constantly traveling to different countries but even though I can just change my location and that’s it!

Venniehai ,

So much faster than MyFitnessPal!

Thank you developers for making this app so much faster than MyFitnessPal! Adding saved meals are easier too. I also love the ability to enter recipes with their ingredients and it calculates the nutritional data per serving automatically.

Get me Movin ,

Losing weight

I have been using the app for about 3 weeks. I have been successful losing weight. I believe it is because I am able to log my food intake and have an idea how many calories I am taking in per day. Cannot always find exactly what I am eating compared to the food list provided but I am in the ballpark.

Allivacnarf ,

NO RESPONSE FOR HELP

I utilized the app for about a month tracking everything I ate.

The app started freezing up so I sent a request for assistance with no answers.

Now the app is not only freezing up but now it’s crashing.

All my valuable information such as recipes, meal preps, stats, photos are no unreachable and I have contacted them a second time with no response.

I recommend any other app so you will have the decency of being heard when assistance is needed.

silverdog71 ,

Happy with this App

I’ve used a few diet plan tracking apps in the past and am very please with this one over the month I’ve been using it. It has a great range of addition features (recipe sharing etc) and is laid out in an easy to navigate format

Nestess5 ,

My favorite

I've tried a lot of these apps and this one is my favorite. The other ones have better animations and look slicker but this one has all the tools I need and beat of all it doesn't down you in ads or ask you to go premium.

Ms. Bobi ,

Love this app.

This app makes counting calories, micro, sodium etc ...so easy and after one week it is becoming fun and I look forward to how my day will unfold and the difference the scale will make in the morning..I am weighting ever morning for the first time in my life and it helps me keep on track.

sjkc67 ,

Fat Secret is a secret worth sharing.

Good app and I am using it with success. Only drawback is it is not easy to add foods/recipes that are not already in the system. (The plus side is that are lots of food options already in the system.)

You can save “a meal” - but you can’t enter a recipe, figure out the nutrients, including calories and carbs PER SERVING and save the results.

Enetliz ,

Love it!

This application is helping me to track my food, also is teaching about the calories is turns out that foods I thought were good are the ones with the most calories obviously I’m staying away for those now, FatSecret is been very helpful, thank you...

GeorgPorg puudin& pie ,

Down 15

This app easily allows me to track my calories and break down of % of daily groups. Using my doctors guidance and recommendations while not making it about crazy gimmicks. Just calories, exercise the basics. It will allow me to maintain when I get to my goal.

oh2Bhealthy ,

Great app

Looking to track my health and eating habits and this app is a terrific tool. Breaking down the macro even is great. It's beneficial tracking my weight daily and the community is so supportive. I love all the features within it in the lookup and most eaten. The reminders are not annoying either.

DavRoKel ,

Easy, complete, LOTs of stored items

Restaurants, branded grocery foods, produce - you name it. Thousands stored items. Or write in and app will store. I like the carb feature for total, fiber, and net carbs. Many stored exercise types for logging calories burned. Numerous other features but these are what I use and appreciate most.

M3sta12 ,

Pregnant and trying to be in charge!

New to the counting Carbs and Calories but this app has really helped me. I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes and I feel fat secret is easy to use and easy way to keep myself in check during this time and i am sure will after I deliver my baby!

Izabelle Davis ,

Life Changing!

This app is changing my life for the better. I didn’t realize I was gorging myself with so many calories until I got this app and starting logging my intake. In just 2 weeks, I’ve dropped 4 pounds without even working out. My mind and body feel great!

Zim28-01 ,

Calories Burned Summary/Tab Needed

This is a fantastic app! The only thing missing under the “Reports” section is a summary of the “Total Calories Burned”. With this simple addition, one could compare the total calories consumed versus total calories burned for the day or more importantly, over a week to determine if they are essential gaining, maintaining, or loosing weight.

iagal74 ,

Absolutely love fat secret!!)

You can carb cycle, iifym, create your own recipes and it will break it down in macros for you. (Only one complaint, I wish the calories would update on the pie chart to the calories on that carb cycling day, but I use nutrients tab and don’t look at pie chart because it’s not correct

Developer Response ,

And we absolutely love you... thanks for your feedback ;)

Streetglide P ,

Fat secret app

This app really keeps you honest , it helps you with calories and food nutrition information, nutrients, and is really good at adding everything up and giving you caloric and nutritional info. Just put in diary what you eat be honest set you calorie goal and fat secret does the rest. Great app

Explorer of Wonderous Things ,

Best food tracking app ever

Easy to use, no ads, highly efficient, detailed information, extensive database, and visual. I’ve tried many apps in this category and none compare as well as this one for overall features and usability.

Feelin_good ,

Great app

Started using in April at 202 with a 160 pound target. Down to 165 and still going. Should make my goal in 2-4 weeks.


The biggest thing I learned was how much I was eating and how easy it is to cut back. Also figured out which foods I should and shouldn't eat. After the first week or so it got really easy to stick to a good diet.


After years of struggling this app is a godsend.


Some issues with IOS8 but they are promising that a new update is imminent. And by the way, you can, but don't have to register. No annoying ads or pop-ups. Overall a fantastic app.

Labor Dude 78 ,

Easy and effective!

This app is easy to use, informative and really helps me stay on track. It includes a lot of grocery store and restaurant foods. I am on the road a lot, and this tool is a must have if us road warriors are going to have healthy behaviors. I highly recommend FatSecret.

NatinLA ,

Great app!

Love this app. It’s easy to use and highly motivating. It makes tracking food intake, calories and macronutrients simple. The journal entries and photos are great for tracking progress. The app allows you to change your daily calorie intake goals, macro nutrient %’s and add foods not found in the database base. 👍🏻

LeighAlasaw ,

Easy and effective

I am on the free version. It’s

Pretty simple, eat less and you lose weight, but tracking it helps you figure out what you need nutritionally and where your weak spots are. There are lots of pre-entered items so tracking is fast and sort of fun.

cactushugs ,

Fat Secret

A great, free tool to start keeping track of weight & calories. The free app works well, and is good for me because I don't have any extra money at this point in my life. I bet the little extra that you might want to spend for the extended app would be well worth it!

sheila428 ,

There is hope!!

It’s working!!! Must stay diligent but the reminders, other members input, and just how smoothly logging all that goes into my mouth is is helping so much. Was doing a diet book which I had to write all down each day. Including going to calorie lists! Now app does for me. The calorie counting so much easier!!

Personnnnññ ,

Highly Recommend

Been using this app since 2015, it’s great for tracking food and making sure you hit your calories/macros. The only problem I’ve had occasionally is the servers going down, preventing me from tracking meals for periods of time. Other than that, I highly recommend the app.

long time satisfied user ,

Long time satisfied user

I have been using this app for all my bodybuilding competitions for tracking my macros and I love it. I love how it has the fat, carbs, and proteins displayed on top and you can set your targets. And the list of foods and restaurants already in the app is awesome! Highly recommend to anyone.

Nuttynutrition ,

So far no complaints.

The food data base is large, so that’s awesome. I have only used the app a handful of times...trying to lose the last 7 lbs of baby weight by tracking calories. I just ran into some recipes today so I will probably start checking out that area as well. Maybe will be a 5 star soon.

iphineuser ,

Amazing

I just need to count calories, but this app does so much more. It tracks macros as well and has almost any food you can imagine, it has given me freedom to make food choices I want to make rather than sticking to someone else’s program (low carb, low fat, keto etc.) .

brigittybridge ,

Don’t love the name, love the functionality

Lots of options, more than other free apps, easy to add and track, easy to take photos and scan codes for specific foods you can’t find just by searching, too. Would def recommend!

••<3•• ,

Absolutely amazing, works wonders!

I’m not kidding I’m an overweight teen but this app so far has helped me loss 4 pounds in 2 weeks! I’m finally making progress and I can see some clear differences. 100% recommend if your trying to track your calories

firstcarol535 ,

Awesome app

This app helped me before to lose 20lbs and then COVID stay at home got me gaining. I’m determined to follow through this time until I reach my goal of 150. I love this app because it has a large database of various food items to help me keep on track. Highly recommend

tx fun grl ,

Good app for basic tracking

App is easy to use. I do not pay for the extra features and still finds it meets my needs. I do much better in keeping my eating under control if I track my calories. This works well for me.

joanieg111 ,

Easy to keep me on track

I’ve been using this app for almost a month and it’s very easy to keep me on track of my calories each day as well as calories burned with my yoga classes and every day walking

I would recommend.

?M0t0rcycle! ,

Great for Weight Loss

Started using Fat Secret in February 2020 after realizing I need to do something before bathing suit season (joke was on me, COVID-19). Used the app to maintain a caloric deficit and had fantastic results. I have had an occasional glitch, but this has never been long term. Overall a 5 start application.

Ribecky ,

Easy and truly FREE

This was the only calorie/fitness tracking app I could find that gave me access to what I wanted absolutely free. It is super easy to use and the calorie tracking food library is super robust. It helped me reach my goal to boot! I absolutely recommend this (and have).

CiscoNerd ,

Simple, Yet Robust

Plenty of options to play around with, but not so many that it’s complicated. I don’t mind complicated, but let’s be honest... If you’re going to use it multiple times a day, simplicity is just as important as flexibility. This app hits both of those marks!

harry_sude ,

Simple, elegant and effective

Helps me maintain a journal of calorie intake , diet and calories burned! Syncs well with my Fitbit and searching for a food item is so easy.


Probably haven’t used all the features of the app, but pleasantly surprised by ease of use!


Definitely recommend giving it a try.

1 happywmn ,

Really good app!

This app is very easy to use, can find most of the foods logged to the food diary. The food summary is also very good information, the app keeps a running total is the fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, fiber, sugar and protein consumed daily. As well as tracking exercise weight loss. Yes, very useful app.

Thanhful ,

First Time Success

This app has enabled me to stick with a diet plan for the first time in my life. I have lost 27 pounds in 4 months. Previously, I would starve myself the first day of a diet and by noon of the second day say “forget it”. I continue to use the app to maintain my new healthy weight. Thank you FatSecret.

kortneyNW ,

Easy & Fast!

The best app is one that is convenient, easy and of course, fast. This app has all of those things. I’ve used others in the past, yet this is the first one I’ve found to work without having to try not to forget.

RLAbraham333 ,

Amazing App!

This app lists all the brands, foods and serving sizes you can possibly think of. It made managing my food intake easy and helped me cut back on the amount of cholesterol in my diet. I really like how it breaks down your fat, calorie, grain, Cholesterols, and protein intake.

Not only am I loosing weight, I’m lowering my cholesterol. Thank You FatSecret!

JoshT48 ,

Finally dropping weight

So many diets out there but the old fashioned calories in/calories out method is something I forgot about. Sticking to my calorie goals and I finally am dropping the stubborn 30 lb of mid-life baggage. Just dropped under 200 fir the first time in 10 years.

Tylerwaits ,

Easy to use!

Fat Secret makes it easy to track your progress. It has the nutritional data on most foods and if it doesn’t, you can enter custom foods. It also helps you do maintenance after you’ve achieved your weight goal. Good system!

Braddy14 ,

Free Version is Great

I use the free version to track calories consumed and burnt. The large database of food makes it easy to find and track meals. The ability to sync with Apple health apps is great. Highly recommend to anyone looking to track their meals and health goals!

Dr QRJ ,

Fat secret

I absolutely love this app! It’s so easy to keep track of how many calories you’re getting and keeps you on track for your ultimate weight goal. If you’re tired of those complicated apps, then definitely use this one.

hectorgar123 ,

It’s user friendly 👍

What’s important to me is to have ease to log my foods in ounces or grams. The other reasons it’s on me I Phone and PC and any entry’s update. The summary’s for my Dietitians and Dr. can be sent in PDF or Excel-spreadsheet or on your phone. It offers many functions to setup your program you desire.

lowrider57 ,

Satisfied

A great diet tool I was able to lose 45 pounds by keeping track of my (calorie)food intake. I would recommend this tool to anyone serious about weight loss. This is the true diet keeping calorie intake low by eating less and exercise. This app is the best I’ve seen.

Framcesca from Miami ,

So grateful for the app.

This app has helped me keep track of my eating style using macros. I really think this will help me achieve my goals. It’s only missing one star because I think it would be nice to find people through the mobile app (right now you can only do that through a desktop).

bobbyrk ,

Easy Tracking

Very easy app to use for tracking weight and food consumption! I have been using the app for five weeks now and it helps me better understand what I am consuming and what changes I need to make for weight loss.

TransformedByGrace ,

Easy to use,helpful, and no badgering

Keeping track of what I eat and the nutritional content is a breeze. This has helped me to stay on track and push through plateaus. What I also appreciate is that I’m not hassled and badgered constantly to upgrade. Thanks!!

Jr5667 ,

Great app!

One great place to record everything! The only thing I wished it would do was allow for you to customize the meals beyond just breakfast, lunch and dinner. I eat multiple times per day (6+) and I’d love to be able to track it that way.

Lahickorynut ,

Great accountability tool

I’ve been using this for years now to lose and monitor weight. It has a great selection of food items to diary, and the nutrition information usually seems Albert accurate. This is my favorite well-being app!

Scan95 ,

Works great

What can I say... it’s simply a great app. Honestly, I don’t like paying for a subscription (monthly) system which this offers as an in app purchase. I don’t use that element, but I would say this app is exceptional at free and honestly, I’d pay a one time purchase price for it.

ClarityAnn ,

Great app!

I tried many food logging apps, this one is the best..and it’s free! I’m diabetic so I track carbs and calories. I can even set it to track net carbs. Great community with wonderful support, challenges and groups. If you’re looking for a food logging app, stop here, you’ve found it!

Nansbank ,

Has helped me get it off!!

I have a FitBit that counts the calories I burn and this app. tells me the calories I eat. I’ve been carefully counting every bite! If I burn more calories than I eat....the weight comes off. I’ve also been eating more healthy as I’ve developed some heart issues.

Issy109 ,

Accountability Partner

This app is AH-MAH-ZING! I’ve tried everything and nothing holds me accountable like this one! There is something about seeing all that unhealthy crap in food clearly and stylishly listed to get your self control in gear!!!! I’ve lost 11 lbs in 3 weeks that’s to hard work and this accountability partner!

Borgesgal ,

Fat secret

They say people who track their food are more successful so I’m very happy I found this app. Fat secret makes it so easy to track all food even fast food. I’m visual so I love the ability to see my macros in a pie wheel. You can change it too if it’s not your thing. Love, love it!!!!!

cwalker100 ,

Nice that so many foods are already loaded

Helps keep track of what you’re eating. Makes it easier to plan your day as you can see how many daily calories you have left since I t subtracts the calories you consume as you go.

PhillyRed ,

Great app

I’ve had the app since 2010 it’s gratifying to look back and see the progress like when I went on a royal Caribbean cruise and ate a boatload of food and gained 9 pounds. And then got back on track to lose it. The features & community make it the best option for me

Miketa ,

Great Calory counter

I've had and used this app for over 10 years with great success. It’s nice to be able to go back in time and compare your past progress and adjust your calorie intake. This has really helped my diet and health over the years.

teddybear0518 ,

Love this app!

This is the best calorie counter app ever! I love how the food I eat is already in there so I can just select it and not have to put all the nutrition info. I am finally losing weight at a steady pace without starving myself because I know where I'm at with my macros daily.

ReeB1313 ,

Excellent assist

If you’re trying to improve your diet either to lose weight or just to improve your nutrition, this is the best method I’ve found. Much better than paper and pen notations with most restaurants’ offerings listed with nutritional information.

arlric ,

Great application

Have been using for six weeks and love the app. Very easy to use and it has most foods you can buy with the ability to choose your portion size. I definitely recommend to anyone who is counting calories.

MomT1189 ,

Updated

Well, I guess when you updated this app.... YOU UPDATED. I used it over a year ago and lost 20 pounds. It changed and was hard to look things up for a period of time and I assume this is the updating period of time. WOW. What an amazingly wonderful app. Thank you VERY MUCH.

'Ol Sarge ,

Very good baseline product needing some tweaks

In the month I have used the app I find it very good. There are some issues that coukd be addressed next update e.g. a way to permanently remove a food item from the Recenteaten” area and a much better exercise/calorie listing. It doesn’t allow variations for treadmills that use 3,4,5...degrees. Good start but needs a bit more thought in future updates.

SouthernMommaof5 ,

Needs Manual entry

There are many times that menu options in restaurants are not listed in the search option. Please add a manual entry option for meals, where one can add the restaurant name and the menu item, as well as manually entering the nutritional info from the menu or website. Then I can give 5 stars!

Datsio ,

Misleading in a good way

Usually apps that are free have advertisements, are slow and glitchy, and aren’t that useful. But this app is amazing, it has easy to search foods and their nutritional facts, a very wide variety of foods listed, a helpful chat room, and other awesome capabilities. Very pleasantly surprised

Hawkeye mania ,

Overall good

This app is pretty easy to use. It tracks things well although I wish that they ‘recently eaten’ list was longer and crossed over between meals. Some of the information is not accurate on food items compared to the label but overall this app is good.

Chrisgass ,

Easy nutrition tracker

I downloaded this free app so I can keep better track of my protein intake. It has worked perfectly easy easy to track all types of different foods. It keeps me on track every day so I know I’m getting as much protein as I need.

Lunabeat ,

Great app!

Keeps track of calories and workouts by day, week and month. Easy to use, has kept me on track to my goal. Lots of extra features available with paid subscription.

Juicy legend ,

My new best friend

I started low to the ground fighting trying to loose weight not knowing what to do or how it was going to work out. Many men are skeptical about stuff like this. Let me tell you it works. I haven’t paid a dime and I’ve lost 11.2 lbs in 5 weeks. Period!

AcesMommie ,

Fat-U-less

Fat-U-less as in fabulous because it’s helping me weigh less. I pay more attention to carbs and calories and love that this app is the all in one stop - can even record exercise, has a menu, weight tracker, chat to make new buddies. This app is fabulous.

D.G 14 ,

Super convenient

It’s very easy to keep track of everything you eat and your weight. It helps me stay motivated when I’m able to access my progress so easily. I do wish they had a diet plan that was free but majority of the app is so I can’t complain. It’s definitely worth a download!

PrincessC-NJ ,

Great Food App

This App was extremely helpful during my first major weight loss season 4 years ago! Now after being married with 2 children I’m starting back on this App. It’s harder to lose the weight but I’ll give it a shot!

HyperLunatic ,

Premium Pricing is Egregious

Free is awesome. And, this app is awesome. However, I really would like to be able to track water intake as well. And I am not going to pay $40/year to do that. Ridiculous pricing for premium features. Suggest adding another pricing tier, or just making this feature free as well. I don’t mind paying for this app, it is awesome; but that pricing for water tracking is egregious.

Eddy skittles ,

Doesn't let me log my meals half the time

The only reason I still use this is because of the feature that allows me to send my daily log to my trainer. The. Only. Reason. The app doesn't even let me log in my food half the time when I need to. It's so frustrating when the "sorry lost connection" icon pops up all the time even though I am connected to a very reliable WiFi source. I'm over it.

Developer Response ,

Hi Eddy - thanks for the feedback. Making the app more functional even when it can't connect to our servers is something we've got on our list of things to do for 2018. We've had a lot of legacy issues to clear away this year before starting on these performance upgrades. Hopefully we can provide a better experience for you soon.


Ben

Squitmom ,

Best one!

I’ve tried and looked for a good calorie tracker and workout log that doesn’t require a subscription. This one covers it all! Works really well and I’ve found many of my food but if it’s not in there you can enter it and they will add it!

Extonix ,

Great customer support 👍👍👍

The app itself was very easy to use. After a while though I wanted to delete my account just because I wasn't using it often anymore. When I emailed them they quickly replied and cancelled my acclunt all in the same day. Definitely a recommend app.

OatmealSquare ,

Easy accountability

Has a huge database of foods and caloric content, makes it easy to customize portion size, takes less time than handwriting a food diary. And tracking everything with ease has firmed my spine when confronted with a scrumptious treat.

floridammm51 ,

A big help!

Great app that really helps you stay on tract to loose weight. It lets you see how many calories you really eat---a lot more than you thought! Very easy to use and with a very complete list of foods to select from. Highly recommended!

Sage WynterFox ,

Let’s me print free reports

For a free app, this is the best. There are other things you need to pay for in the premium version (like logging your water), but my favorite feature in the free version is the ability to export and print my food logs for my health coach.

antistupid2019 ,

Perfect for Keto

Great app, very helpful tracking my calorie intake along with my Keto diet. A bit time consuming to initially find foods and plug things in when first starting app but afterwards it’s a breeze to keep up with my daily calorie intake excercise, etc. I wasn’t losing weight until I started using this super helpful tracking tool!

sheribear68 ,

Best food logging app

My nutritionist recommended this app and I love the way it lets you log food and keeps track of macros.

There’s also a way for her to see my food logs so she has all my data and we can work together fine-tuning my diet.

mrmoore1901 ,

Great

This app works is convenient and easy to use to track your food. I’ve never been good about writing in a food diary but after having two kids close together. I need help losing some weight. It is helping me!

Js essentials ,

Great

could y’all add a time stamp on the “breakfast/ lunch/ dinner/ snacks” when we log our food. sometimes i forget when i last ate. also a reverse food log? a “what I didn’t eat” option. for example if i log a burger, but didn’t eat the buns, I could search for buns separately and redact it from my meal. thanks !!

amante de gato ,

FatSecret is the best!

I can't seem to diet without this app. It keeps me accountable and is so easy to use. It "remembers" my meals and I can choose them quickly. They have a huge database of restaurant and prefab dishes that already have the nutrients tallied. It basically does EVERYTHING you need it to do. I love it!

Sky_barnes ,

Excellent and completely free

Requires a free account, and only works online, but provides all the nutrient breakdowns (macro and micro) of entered foods hidden behind subscriptions in other food tracking apps. Has an active community to encourage us all and ask questions of.

Ph.D. 5557 ,

Lovely app! Every meal you can find in the grocery stores are there including international!

Easy to use with great community! Very Instagram-like (optional) sharing or viewing meals of others! Totally makes me feel not alone! Recommend! Works with no excuses!

434Lucy ,

Easy to use

Has just about every food i use, restaurants & commercial brands also, very easy to use. I like that I can set my own macros and get fat, carbohydrate and protein for every meal as well as for the whole day . Really enjoying it!

Celtics2200 ,

Have used this app for years!

This app is the best I have found in keeping track of calories, weight and exercise. It is even linked to the health app!! I have tried several others but keep going back to FatSecret!!

Michael2135 ,

Best Calorie Counting app

I’ve been using this app for about 6 years. The combo between being able to track your weight and calories on the same app is very useful. The interface is simple and easy to use

Ed1958Texas ,

Edwin

Good app. It does everything I need... I am having trouble with the calorie count not matching the product when scanned, also, many products don’t show up when scanned. when searching for some products manually they can’t be found by brand so I’m forced to choose a similar product with a different brand.

Littlejaydoll ,

Please don’t become sellouts

Love love love this app. It’s easy and intuitive, much better than the WW app. It’s also great because they aren’t invasive with their agenda or ads, please don’t become popular and start interrupting the app with ads, this is too good of a product :)

Speckdude ,

It helps!

When I use this my good habits stay on point. When I don’t track so lose track. It’s robust, easy and helps me stay in control. It’s a great app! I am a strength coach and fitness business owner. I recommend it to all my clients. Yes even fitness trainers need help.

ReneRye ,

I love this app

It’s easy to use, I just take a picture and find my food quickly or scanning... I recommend it to have an almost perfect record of yours meals in the week/ and you can also see your macro nutrients.


Me encanta esta app; se me hace fácil de usar y encontrar la comida que consumo. Te la recomiendo si quieres llevar un balance en tus macro nutrientes, puedes cambiar las metas que sean mejor para ti.

Volkolak ,

One of the easiest ways to keep a food journal

Once you get used to the app it becomes fairly straightforward to record what you ate. With this app you also become part of very supportive community to aid in your weight loss journey. I'm giving it 4 stars because sometimes the UI is confusing.

cathycreates ,

Easy to use. Great tool!!

This is a simple way to keep a food diary. It has a huge data bank of foods and their nutritional value so finding what you want to log in is a snap. Everything you need and not a bunch of stuff you don’t!

J9lapierre ,

Very helpful health tool!

Tracking my food intake has shone me where I have opportunity to improve my eating habits to support my weight loss goal. It’s easy to use and I love the graphical presentation of my stats. Please add a feature to track water intake too. Then it would be a one stop app for my health tracking needs.

Running For The Roses ,

Really great

The only thing I would focus on improving is customizing meals. It’s pretty basic and doesn’t work well for me (unless I’m doing it wrong which is possible.) Also for logging foods. Longer lists of Most eaten would make it faster for me to log food every day. Thank you for asking!!

njahou ,

FatSecret Value

App has many popular brand carb values. For example heavy whipping cream which should have zero carbs. Only seems to have that with the organic brands. Others like KROGER or Shweeps Albertsons all have at least 1 or 2 carbs. Meaning some kind of difference or filler is added Same for cheeses. Easy to help you track as well

Spinnertowinner ,

This is what I come back to

I have tried many calorie/nutrition tracking apps.... and download the newest ones that come up on the App Store- but this is the best one that I continue to return to. It is comprehensive and simple to use. Thank you!!

rwingr ,

Too easy

In my opinion this is the easiest weight control app to use regardless of your goal. The database is endless. I have used it to bulk, cut, and maintain. I recommend to everyone I can that has a specific “look” they are going for.

Buraddo79 ,

Great.

Helps me count calories which is all I needed. I’ve lost over five pounds just doing that. When you count calories it makes you think. That’s been the difference. Set a calorie goal, not a weight goal. Let the math do the rest.

SuperCita ,

Easy to use

Easy input for food intake so I can keep tabs on how many calories I’m consuming and how much exercise I’m getting. I don’t feel deprived as am making better choices! Loosing weight slowly but surely. The healthy way...

Speensalf ,

Extensive database, easy to track macros

Very easy to use and track calories from their extensive data sources. You can find EXACTLY what you’re eating most times or close approximations the other 10% of the time.

Vilaeze ,

Great app!

This app has served my husband and I well through our weight loss journey. The flexibility of eating out and making healthy recipes while being able to track your daily calorie and macros is incredibly helpful!

D. Arnold1127 ,

Awesome

Has been instrumental in helping me start & stick to a weight loss plan. Starting my 3rd week, have only lost 4 pounds but hopefully I will meet my weight loss goal in a few months. I plan to use Fat Secret after my goal is met to maintain a healthy diet & weight.

Roadrunner511 ,

Highly recommend.

My physical trainer recommended this app.


It’s so simple to use and you can email the reports to your physical trainer or accountability partner to help make sure you are eating right. Set weight goals and keeps track of your progress.

ERB OHIO ,

Easy to use!

I have been using this app for years and it is an excellent way to track calories and macros. It is easy to use and essential for me to reach my goals and to hold myself accountable for what I am putting in my body.

ksdaman ,

Ok if you want free

Just downloaded it to compare if better than my fitness pal. Couldn’t find 1 minute Quaker Oats on scanner. Found when typed in. It has a pre determined amount already that you can’t change. You have to scroll and fraction that predetermined portion. Gives me my daily caloric amount but I don’t see a date where I will hit my target weight goal. My Fitness Pal still beats this easily.

gmarjohn ,

Best way to track if you do a lot of cooking from scratch

Love the cookbook feature as I can plug in ingredients and serving size and get accurate nutritional info more easily than with MyFitnessPal, better and easier interface too.

cboxgo69 ,

Does everything I need...

I’ve been stuck with this app since I first started using it, because it helps keep me on track and provides me all the reports I need. I haven’t found anything else that can do more...

ash_m3 ,

I can’t believe it!

I’ve tried a couple different apps and paid a lot of money monthly for the same thing this app offers for free. And it’s easy to use. My favorite one so far and I’m down 10 lbs in a month 🙌🏻

2k20demi ,

Fat Secret

Been using FatSecret for the past couple of weeks after having used MyFitnessPal for roughly 3-4 years. I believe FatSecret is a much better app as it more accurately predicts your TDEE. The app is organized in a matter than is pleasing to the eye and easy to use.

Desiboo513 ,

Very Good

I’ve been using the app for a few years now and it has been working perfectly. I am able to document my progress and when I fall off the bandwagon lol. Good is so amazing isn’t it!!! Weight loss journey is so tough hang in there guys! #vsg

Ks1906 ,

Stayfit

Easy to use search function with the ability to scan bar codes of main stream foods. Once you get use to the search function you can plan/research ahead of meals. This is handy for dinning out.

Pat418 ,

Easy to use calorie counting app

Are use FatSecret (Wish they would change the name!) quite a bit since a relative told me about it. It’s great for single ingredients and simple dishes. Just a little difficult to use when you order something at a restaurant or it’s not in their database. Have to estimate.

BelloftheBurgh ,

Better than all the other trackers

I’ve used this on and off since before apps and smart phones were a thing!! It’s easy to use and doesn’t push you to buy things.

Navy Tootie ,

Retired Navy

This is a awesome App to help with watching your nutrition. It is excellent to monitor all of your daily values.

You log what you eat and the App brakes down your consumption of calories, Fat, Sodium, Sugar etc. etc.

you wouldn’t believe what your putting in your body. It really helps you to eat healthier and is a great aid to help you loose weight.

Apelfrey ,

Great

Very user-friendly I have used several other fitness apps before and I never use them more than once I use fat secret all the time! It's been a great tool to help me keep track of every day exercise and counting calories.

Timid Viking Chef ,

For me, a real game changer

Easy to use, with three strong features. First is the comprehensive data base. Second, is a vibrant on-line community. Finally, are the easy reporting features, which do a great job of breaking down the details. I’ve lost 33 lbs so far!

MyBestGINA ,

MyBestGINA

Great app!! Easiest way to keep track of what you eat and calories you take in. All you have to do is search your food and the app gives you all the nutritional value for the food you’re searching.

Rowan_true ,

Great app

Easy to use and has everything you need no matter which diet you choose. Really helps keep you on track. Highly recommend it for anyone serious about getting healthy.

HarrisFL ,

Really useful

It’s easy to track. Search finds most foods by brand name. Generic entries are comprehensive as well. I tend to eat the same things a lot so recently eaten and most eaten categories make setup easy. I also track my weight loss. Very useful!

Clutch5000 ,

Please switch default to daily

I like this app a lot. I would be open to premium if it was more cost effective but I’m not quite seeing the value yet. Great app and seems to be going I. The right direction. I definitely use the app daily so a default setting for daily would be preferred.

Mama MC ,

This app has been crucial for my weight loss journey!

This app is the best for losing weight! I love that it is a weight loss, nutrient/macros counter and a social media app in one! I get so many ideas from others, the support amongst the people is amazing and motivating! So thankful I found it!!

arita84 ,

Best app to loose weight

I spent a lot of money with diet programs, gyms, etc. To end up finding this app through a friend who recommended it to me. I started using it on October 2017, my weight was 145 and now December 2017, my weight is 127 and my ultimate goal is 125. I’m so happy with the results I got from this FREE app.

RecoveryRip ,

The Best App

After figuring out all the functions what an awesome app this turned out to be! Thank you

I’ve tried others and for me this app has it all because it helps me keep on track and loose the weight I need to loose.

MaryKJones ,

Fat Secret

This is a simple, easy to use free tool. I did a trial with an app to track food and while I loved the app, I didn’t love the price that came with it. If you dont want to have to pay for an app to track food this is a great one to use!

GP07yuck ,

Great Calorie Counter

First time to use a calorie app and I must say I really like it. It has a great layout and using the camera to find a food item is very handy. It kinda makes it fun to watch what you are eating. Overall I think it’s a great app.

Pinatina ,

Mo

User friendly and has almost every meal I eat already registered. If it doesn’t, it’s very easy to enter ingredients then automatically generate macros so I’m able to stay on track towards my goals. Highly recommend!

not as fat ,

Great app

Fantastic weight loss app. I’m down 39 pounds and a lot of the credit goes to fat secret.

It has a huge database of restaurants with entire menus for quick picks. It also has most brands of grocery items so you can accurately monitor your calorie intake.

JadeCat05 ,

Good app, one problem

I use this app all the time and it seems to work well for me. However, there's a problem where I enter a meal and it tracks it, but when I come back to the app, it doesn't show it in the diary. It shows it in the records of the week, but not in the diary.

DB Pogue ,

My daily best friend!

Finally found a diet I can stick with (Intermittent Fasting), and FatSecret is my best friend! Easy and quick to tap in daily foods (nearly everything’s in the database), use recently eaten foods and meals, track my carbs and calories, and stay on point! Love this tool!

liv wonders ,

Fat Secret Works!

For me personally,

I don’t struggle so much with eating junk food on a daily basis, but instead struggle with food intake and the amount of calories it provides. With fat secret I became more conscious of the amount of food I’m eating and how it affects my overall health and allows me to reduce the foods that have a lot of calories.

IsaRMG ,

Isabella

I've been using this app for a couple of years. I use it every single day and it is so helpful in keeping me accountable. Idk what I'd do without it. It's simple and it's amazingly versatile!!! I've tried a few others, this one is the absolute best!!!

CherylHardy ,

Best help for nutrition & diet!

This app is perfect for knowing your intake whether your tracking macros, sodium, or just calories. My favorite things are barcoding food items & fast food nutrition info. I’ve had this since 2012 & it has only gotten better!!

I love this app! It is easy to use, stores lots of information in a variety of categories, and allows searches for the brands and types of food eaten. Tracking my calories with this app is actually helping me enjoy my weight loss journey!

jchappy99 ,

Love it

I have used this app for 5 years and I love it. I enjoy it more than using the fit bit app. I would love it if the app could allow me to set goals for my macros in addition to calorie goal for the day. I am starting a keto diet and am very new to this.

Apple*Pie ,

Great App

You have used this app for several years I find it very user friendly and it continues to improve I would like to make a suggestion If you could add a shopping list to the app and ability to scan items it would be the perfect app

rat noob ,

Helpful

It helps you track what you eat and the amount of calories. It also shows you the suggested amounts. For example: if I wanted Doritos, it would say 12 chips which is the suggested amount.

Mallori Dan ,

Pretty good

I do like it than my fitness pal for the sole reason that they have more items in their system, so there’s less margin for error and less if a headache trying to enter your calories. It also seems a little more intuitive while using.

TracyTD ,

Easy to use.

The app is easy to track foods. It has many choices of foods to track and lots

of information about them. it is not all about calories. It lets me count carbs and protein instead. Very nice.

I also appreciate the lists of recent entries to choose from.

you dont like my comment ,

Lynn

Love this app keeps you on track. Highly recommend it to anyone. Tells you how many calories, Fat, Cholesterol, carbohydrates in all the food you eat. Also keeps track of your exercise. Up to

You to be honest

Sfig115 ,

Very helpful

I use it to keep track of calories and it helps quite a bit. I’ve tried others but always come back to here. The community is very friendly.

GJKON ,

Fat Secret App

Very easy to use and I am more accountable when I track my food. My RD can also view my tracking. I had to allow her access to my profile, so it’s up to you if you share your profile or not.

rhetoric404 ,

Just what I was looking for

No ads, no constant nagging for a review. Simple but with a ton of information and reports.

I just wanted a simple calorie counter to track my intake and my macros.


Very happy with it!


An improvement would be to allow an option for typing in numbers instead of that scrolling wheel when trying to enter quantities. I like to use grams a lot and it would be easier for me to type it in rather than scroll to the exact number.


Still 5 stars in my book.

emeraldgirl303 ,

Weight loss made easy

Fat Secret helps you to stay on track, lose weight fast and still eat many of the foods you enjoy. Very easy to search foods and put in the exact brands and information. Love it!

Boonisland ,

Easy to use, good food database

This app has helped my calorie count so much but I like the exercise calorie counter even better. It helps to know how much I’m helping myself even doing things as simple as shopping or cleaning the house.

Healthy for Ever ,

I love it:

Thank you! Is so easy for me to keep track my calories and carbs, but the only thing is that I have three different snacks during the day and you only have one snack on your App.


Thank you all and keep up the great work.

pound ridge mom ,

Makes losing weight easy

I have tried 100’s of times to lose weight. It is simple eat less calories than you burn. This app makes it so easy to know exactly how many calories you are eating. Great app.

jrojas83 ,

Love it!

I have been using this app for years! It’s the best! Their food database is huge, easy to use, and syncs with my Apple Watch. You can modify your calorie count, macronutrients... it has everything you would want in a food/exercise app

KIBBC ,

Less complicated

Daily inputs and visible results make the program a winner. It makes dieting a simple matter. Just input the food and weight daily and the computer takes care of the rest.

bruinkelly ,

Great App!

Been using this app for 4 weeks to track my calories and exercise...easy, just about every food imaginable can be tracked. I also synced it to my Fitbit....down 8 pounds so far using the Mayo Clinic Diet...it’s all about calorie intake, watching fats and sugar....and exercise....

Endo Patient ,

Helpful and easy

I really like this app. Easy to use and fast to enter. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks. I’m sure things could be easier considering I eat the same things but overall an “A”.

GoGillie ,

Easy Recording of Macros

I was looking for nutritional information by brand and found this site. The tools are great and nutritional information improves through the use and logging of the members. It's actually fun to keep a log of your intake and to journal.

Pledge country ,

Great app!

I still can’t believe the free version of this app would be so helpful. It helps you track your macros so you stay within your daily limits. Tracks your weight and so much more. The free recipes are helpful as well.

Sas1980 ,

Some items are wrong

My main problem is that it shows calories on things wrongly. Black coffee for one has 0 calories. And is 0 on everything. But yet is day it has 2. Wish there was a way to change that. Also found things wrong on other items. Please fix.

Khan Shifat ,

It helps on my weight loss journey!!

Simply I was in search of a calorie counter like FatSecret. The calorie counter and weight counter helped me going from 108 kg to 65 kg. If you’re like me, I’ll obviously suggest you to use this app for weight loss…

It’ll help you in this journey!!

Cecy AppStore ,

Essencial App!

Love this app. It is helping me so much. If you start a diet with this habit counting calories, soon enough you will understand what you should adjust on your diet so you can have long term results. And it ends up reminding you not to give up.

AuntieLori ,

One of the best I have seen

I looked at several apps. This one has a large base of pre-loaded food selections and breaks it down by calorie count and by nutrients. I was surprised to realize I wasn’t eating enough protein on my diet and I have since adjusted that.

hmlmama ,

So easy to use SO helpful!

I absolutely love this app and recommend it to anyone looking to make a change to their health and track their nutrition. I love that I can estimate all my meals and snacks for the day. It helps hold me accountable with my choices too.

mommrulzc ,

The best!

This is the best app for keeping track of my food for the day. I can plan ahead for the week. It helps me record my weight loss and shows me how I’m doing. I’ve been using this for 4 years. I’ve lost 85 pounds with it.

@planwithrich ,

Just what I was looking for

I was looking for something that I could track calories per meal, and weight loss/gain. There are even features I don’t use, and has everything (and more) than I needed

KingCharles_3rd ,

Exactly what you’re looking for...

The app just gives you what you need from food searches (including barcodes) to macro breakdown and suggestions for specific goals. Excellent work is all I can say to the developers.


”This is it”

Dave in Argo ,

Helps get me where I need to get weight-wise

I use it daily and it really helps me to focus on my progress. I really like how you can enter in recipes and it will calculate the nutritional content of a serving of that recipe. Easy to use. Well organized.

Developer Response ,

Way to go Dave. Appreciate the feedback ;)

lost 35lbs ,

Great tool

Routinely use the app, easy to use and accurate. Enables tracking of calories and activity as well as a weight log.

The menus are easy to use and have many options to identify foods and their calorie content.

DeaCruz ,

Finally

Finally a free app that counts your calories accurately and is totally reliable! Helps me to keep track and search for calories break down to help me choose a better option under my diet! I love this app! It’s the best app ever created; and it’s free!!!

Grapplerone ,

Cannot change an incorrect product entry

One thing that is about to make me switch back to another app is that when I scan for an item and it finds it but it has the INCORRECT calorie count or other info you CANNOT correct it. I’ve looked everywhere, I can’t find anywhere to do it and it won’t let you enter a new product if it’s in their data base already!!


Stupid!

FAT Electric Inc. ,

Great app

If you are looking to keep track of what you eat and get a good calorie count this app works great. You can pick from the entries they provide or fill in your own entry. It's easy to use and keeps track with weigh ins.

I personally love this app

Laceycycles ,

Great app with some flaws

The navigation isn't always the greatest and I find myself needing to add in a lot of foods that I think should be in the database . I like that it connects with other apps and prefer it over my fitness pal .

domtely ,

It works

Been controlling how many calories I eat every day from this app. I have lost 15 pounds in a month by keeping my calories to 1500 or less and using the app to track my exercise as well.

EM626SGV13 ,

This app is cool

Just put what u eat what u excersize and you'll know what your doing burn more calories than you consume and you'll be loosing weight in no time :) use it daily input ur food intake watch the scale go down trust this app really works

Lio_sto ,

Very detailed on all! - Best app so far

I am so glad there is a huge variety of food when you record your daily intake and it gives you the most thorough detail on carbs, fiber, protein, fat, etc.

Totally recommend this app.

Aceytray ,

Keeps me accountable

I was skeptical, but tracking what I eat has really worked. I am close to my goal in the time period Fat secret predicted. Occasionally the app will log what I put in two times, but it’s easy to delete the duplicate entries.

jacksgramma ,

Biggest fan

I’ve been using Fatsecret for 8 years and while I fall off the wagon, this app always gets me back on track. I’ve learned that I have to be accountable and this app makes my weight loss journey possible.

Jenn Danielle ,

9 years strong!

I began using FatSecret as a way to understand serving sizes and get ahold of my calorie intake in 2009 while I was couch-hopping in the city. I have tracked my weight ever since to stay knowledgeable, and I am now using it to manage my macros during pregnancy! Strong recommendation!

Hayleyjojo ,

Love this app

Easy to work the app. And it makes tracking my calories super easy. I’ve lost weight I think because of this app. I wouldn’t be able to keep track of my diet and exercise without it.

Lbanner ,

Perfect for me

I’m journaling to monitor for high sugar and this app is just what I need to see carbs vs fat vs protein and percentages daily sugar intake etc. still trying to figure out the best way that I can enter my own recipes and save them, but think there is a way

jeff.harlan72 ,

This app will help you reach your goals!

I have been using this app for almost a year and it has help me tremendously! It’s easy to use, the food library is extensive and it has really help me to stay on track.

totallybatty ,

As good as WW and free!

I was paying $20 a month for the corporate one my doc recommended, thinking the barcode reader, free foods and community were worth it. Yay Fat Secret for having all but the free foods! I count everything and I lose weight. Slow and steady. No gimmicks. Thank you ❤️🙏

JoD. ,

The Help I need to Meet My Goals

I am finding the app very easy to use and very helpful. You get a community to share with, you get to choose your preferences on type of diet (keto, low fat), recipes and more. For me, it’s accountability. I’m loosing and feeling good.

BP20212535 ,

Great app! Makes calorie counting easy!

I am really enjoying this out. Love the scanning option and how easy it is to count calories. Really enjoying the community as well, definitely motivating and keeps me on track!

Chewy0219 ,

Perfect for what I was wanting

It’s easy to use and exactly what I was looking for to keep track of my calorie, protein, sugar, and carb intake. Only thing I wish were different is if it could keep track of the iron that’s in the foods.

msmary2u2 ,

Great way to keep track of your daily food habits

This app has really helped me get a handle on my daily calorie intake and helps keep track of my exercise too! The only thing I would improve on is allowing the user to customize the food. Great job!

Pappy 001 ,

Fat secret

Tried all kinds of diets and always failed. This program is fun and made me aware of just what I was eating! It’s so easy to keep up with this and watch the pounds fall off! Amazed with the results just in one month! Thank you!!!

Nickie702 ,

Easy to Navigate

Great app! Simple to navigate. Able to keep a daily log of food intake. If a meal isn’t listed in their database, it allows you to enter your information into their food database. This app keeps me honest. Have lost 9 lbs so far!

Flustered 2 ,

Why I didn’t give it a 5

I think the app is great. I didn’t give it a 5 because I feel 2 things are missing. I wish you could make a favorite foods listing and I think adding your own recipes could be easier by adding more “amount” choices.

abumblebee23 ,

Love it but it won’t sync with Fitbit

Please help me sync it with my Fitbit versa. I try to under the “add exercise and sleep” section but it just gives me the runaround. It says it will leave and login me into my Fitbit app but it just takes me right back to FatSecret app. No clue 😢

Developer Response ,

Hi - when it leaves the fatSecret App you should be taken to Fitbit to authenticate your account. If you're being brought back to the fatsecret app it *should* have completed the sync.


Please email us at contact@fatsecret.com with details of your fatsecret username and we'll try to sort it out for you.

Intuitive app with flexibility

This app is easy to use with an intuitive user interface. It allows me to enter my own recipe nutritional info so I am not forced to only use their food database; however, their database is extensive.

Lugosi24 ,

Excellent

I needed an app to lock me down on what I’m eating and weight. Particularly, I needed an app where I can both find the foods I eat and store them for future choosing. I found all in this app. Highly recommend. The weight graph is the best!

Veggi Luvr ,

Good food tracker

This is comparable to another food app except can’t copy foods eaten previous day to next day. However I like the graph which visually shows proteins, fats & carbs for the day. Other than that helps me to track what I am eating daily who helps me stay on track to reach my goal.

Around The House ,

Tracking calories is easy

I have used this app for 7 years now. It is easy to use. Has great food ideas. Tracking my food intake always motivates me to watch what I eat and lose weight.

Ludditemanxcv ,

I prefer this over My fitness pal and Loseit

Great app. No frills, no ads, and you can scan barcodes, create custom recipes and see your macros all without having to have a subscription, unlike other similar apps in the App Store.

duscol ,

Great

Would maybe be helpful if little pictures of the actual food/drink were somehow shown next to them when you search them

G Weezie ,

Does just about everything

One improvement could be an easier way to enter a food just for my use that I know the caloric value on, without having to enter all the other nutritional details. Overall, very happy with this app

Bwazir ,

My take:

The App is excellent but I am requesting the following improvements.

Those of us who are suffering from Diabetes and high Blood Pressure, needs to have easy FBS( fasting blood sugar) and daily High Blood Pressure recordings Entry.

These improvements will make the App a must for All age group.

Thanks

Schnurzie ,

Hard to believe it’s free

App has every thing I need: weight, calorie and exercise tracker. It’s easy to use and syncs w website. Has tons of foods in the calorie database. Don’t waste time or money w MyFitnessPal, which is slow and clunky, or Noom which is $$$$.

Juneymoon33 ,

Easy free calorie, carbs, fats, app.

So easy to use…..to track what you eat how much you weigh… If you like to count carbs you can do that, Count calories you can do that…and pay attention to how much you exercise..very versatile, and it is free…

woko1430 ,

Finally encouraged to track!

Tracking my food calories has never been my forte. This app makes it so much more convenient to do so. I don’t have to google nutrition facts anymore. A big plus for me.

hsb_llama ,

Almost Five Stars

Thank you to Ree Drummond for mentioning this app and the Happy Scale app in her Blog. Now if only they would merge functionality so users could incorporate their starting weight, ending weight, see the milestones in between and also how their food choices (caloric intake) and exercise impacts progress.

Shalomeze ,

Great for tracking calories

I use this every day to track my calories so I don’t over eat and eat under a specific number of calories. This app is a great tool for this plus more....

Quso1991 ,

Great app

Have been using the app for years, It provides all info you need to keep track of your macros and calories. It is easy to use and there is free option available.

Run4life1263 ,

Run4life1263

Love the FatSecret App! It’s so easy to use and keeps my nutrition on track. The tracker helps me ensure I am getting the right combination of macros which has pretty much eliminated my food cravings and definitely given me more energy.

RehabSpinalStenosis.com ,

Really Helps

Weight dropping, daily nutrition is also improving. This app encouraged me to look for proteins that are lower in fat. I love seeing the other users drop their pounds and support each other. This app is simple and gratifying. Five stars.

Dpm ad ,

Overall Best

I've tried all the counters out there. This one offers the most at the price of $0. Would like more interaction with my Apple Watch but it does sync my steps with the watch so not a total bummer.

KkHewberry ,

App is great, one flaw

The app is great. My boyfriend and I love it. The one flaw that we have found is that when you work out, the app won’t take the calories burned into account and make them additional calories to consume. I hope that the developers fix this!

*WishOnAStar* ,

Convenient & Easy

Helps keep track of daily calorie intake and calories burned with daily exercise. Keeps you accountable and the process interesting. Makes it very easy to see your weekly negative calorie count. Love it!!!

teacher fox ,

Easy to use and motivating

I love Fat Secret because it keeps me accountable and helps me to know what I need to do to reach my goals. It really is easy to use. Everything is spelled out for you. I wish I started along time ago.

photobug137 ,

The best tracking app for foods

This is the best app for tracking your calorie intake I’ve found. It has the most complete list of foods so far. The exercise tracking could use a little tweak, especially for walking without a specialized device for input.

Mommatogoats ,

Loving this app

This app lets me track my saturated fat. I’m only eating 11 g of saturated fat per day. And I am losing weight very quickly with the help of this app. Haven’t had any major problems with it. And Customer Service has been good.

SlenderWantabe ,

FatSecret does it all!

I am new to FatSecret, and so far I really like it. It is so easy to record your food that I don’t procrastinate as I have done in the past with other systems. I also like, and review often the available reports.

tim zetterwall ,

Very easy and accurate

I tried several different app’s and I was lucky to find this one! Easy to use and very efficient at finding my food choices. You folks did a great job!

Soonertate ,

Great app

I love the camera barcode scanner and also love the nutritional breakdown distribution of fat, carbs and protein graph summary. I have lost 18 pounds in 1.5 months with just diet alone. I began sept 15th and is now oct 31st. My goal is 20 pounds but end of year. I haven’t even hit the gym yet.

amascaro417 ,

Straight up works

I’ve always been active but never could get weight off. This app allows me to track my macros with ease, and the weight loss is taking care of itself!

treemarks ,

Works for me!

I am losing after taking in less than I need. I am doing it slowly without gimmick dieting. The only con is that I wish that this app had more food measurements. I able to get around them, but would prefer more choices for convenience.

NolegalMoves ,

The best cal tracking tool

Fast, responsive, good database of foods.. helps accurate tracking as opposed to being a barrier or chore to track food intake. Organization of screens is intuitive and allows fast access to all that is needed

Igiveupthistime ,

Love this App!

I’ve been away for awhile, but now that I’ve tried about everything else I’ve decided to fast the first half of the day, then count calories the rest of the day. FatSecret is perfect for this. Best App out there!

Mkins ,

Fantastic but has login issues

I’ve used this app several times to loose weight. They keep making improvements which is great. Unfortunately now when I try to switch from the food journal it asks me to create a new login, even though I am logged in. I can see the data on the website, so I know I’m still logged in. Please fix this bug!

nanouty711 ,

Love the FatSecret app

Makes my life more easier to track all my diet and calories and here is all the champions here who start their journey too sharing all the success and support and the food recipes!

Thank you again

MandySue1972 ,

Great Calorie Counter!

Quickly find the food you’ve eaten whether it’s name brand, store brand, or from a restaurant. Keeps a daily log of everything you’ve eaten. It’s kept me on track and accountable. Super easy to use.

lindadianed ,

Great app.

This app measures your calories, macros, weight loss or gain and nutritional breakdown plus provides community support! There a in purchase upgrades but the free part is already phenomenal! You can set goals and be encouraged by others with similar goals. A+ app!

LYG 79 ,

This app works great for me!

Great to to keep track of calories and weight. Has other features as well but I don’t use them! Really like being able to look up portion sizes of popular brands!

RACENRIDE ,

Incredible App!!!

First time trying it, and it checks all the boxes. I feel guilty using it as it was Free! I’d easily pay for it - it’s that good. If you are planning to diet in conjunction with your total wellness plan then I highly recommend it. 😊

sanfordandsons ,

It’s great

It’s great all the food is preloaded I’ve yet to not find the food and products I eat helping me really understand what I’m eating and what needs to change very user friendly highly recommend

Mark Packman ,

Weight loss tool keeps getting better

I love how FatSecret now integrates with the Apple Health App, cutting out the need to log activity. There are improvements for finding food you might want to eat, however there are still some improvements needed there. I consider it a great app.

Sundown76 ,

FatSecret Shouldn’t Be A Secret

This App has allowed me to easily track my Macro’s in my Keto Diet plus the sugars as well. I have lost almost thirty pounds since starting the diet and the last month tracking food with FatSecret has made it much easier.

zorkass2000 ,

Great app, highly recommended

If you really want to loose weight, you need a tool to observe yourself, a mirror in your habits and your progress. I strongly believe this app provide all you need to succeed.

Again, highly recommend

Rio Blond ,

Easy to use

FatSecret is helping me control my food intake and stay in a 1,500 daily calorie intake to loose weight and exercise. It’s easy to use App, I am computer challenged and had no problem learning to use it.

mss7959 ,

Easy to use, scan feature is nice

Been happy with the app so far. Easy to use, easy to track and most item are in the database so I haven’t had to manually add many items. Very nice !

Sprout 1992 ,

Great for tracking

Easy to use, has most food data already there and you can add new items.I also like that I can see what percentage I’m eating in different categories.

riadmatar ,

Retired

I do notice when I use the app: I loose weight and my blood pressure get back to normal, my body feels a lot better. When I did stop using it everything in my body get really worse.

emerald1457 ,

Perfect for calorie counting

This app is ideal for those who prefer to keep track of progress using calories and macros. I need to count calories to lose weight and this is the most efficient app I have seen.

leedotpang ,

Best calorie tracker I’ve used

Includes all the bells and whistles 100% free. My only complaint is that the database isn’t as packed as some of the competitors, especially with my local chains—but that’s easily made up by how simple it is to add custom entries and recipes.

Pink Floyd fan for life ,

Good app

The app is good However I have noticed that some times the calories are different from the actual nutritional labels. It should have the flexibility for us to add our information from the food labels. If there is away to do this I haven’t found it

BlackPearlie ,

Great features - horrible interface

I've used this app for 4+ years. It's great for quickly logging food and exercise info, downloading your data, too. Unfortunately, the newish update to the home screen is appalling.

- The useless smiling kiwi fruit takes up a lot of space. You're supposed to replace it with a photo (in case you forget what you look like?) Oh, and it's flanked by these nonintuitive icons from the 90s.

- Gone is the simple display of calories, macros and exercise. This is a big, big deal.

- Then the rest of the screen is filled with weight entries and accompanying notes.


Pity. This used to be a really great interface. Will look for something else.

Developer Response ,

Hey BlackPearlie,


Understand the feedback and sorry the interface change has upset you.


We did try and make it better for folks who aren't interested in the community by making the diary with calories, macros and exercise your central spot in the app that is remembered.


We'll look to factor in your feedback as we make improvements. We appreciate you sticking with us for such a long time and hope we can provide value for another 4+ years.


Kind regards,

Lenny

shellhast ,

Luv it. Very convenient. Everything I need.

Extremely easy to use and has everything I need to reach my weight goal. Really like the nutrition breakdown. It's great to see how much protein, fat and carbs I've had throughout the day.

falseeventsappearreal ,

Making it easy!

I am dieting and intentionally exercising for the 1st time. This tool is comprehensive, easy and informative! Started with a 35 lb weight loss goal...I’m 1/2 way there and learning so much about making better food choices.

Charmom03 ,

Wonderful app!

Perfect diary, easy to use and a big accurate database. It has a lot of wonderful features. I quit my other app because they kept pushing me to buy the “deluxe” version. This one hasn’t done that. I love it!

moving foreward ,

Accountability

This app was well thought out. The food search engine is amazing. Opening the app every day gets you through the hard days with accountability.

calorie aware ,

Wake up call

What a wake up call it was using this app!! Made me fully aware of what I was putting in my body for first time in my 55 years. My weight is on steady decline without dieting and I am feeling much better.

Sheesa-lala ,

Best option I have found yet!!

This is the best option I have yet found to track my intake. By just being aware I have already lost almost 5lbs in 2 weeks!

Eatrey ,

Very easy

I love how easy it is to navigate and they also have a wide range of food and measurements. I give it 9/10. I wish it would sync better with my Apple Watch for calories.

Bottom Line Up Front ,

Still the best

Still the best. Discovered that online has even more information.


Tried many other apps – keep coming back to this one.

3 Furbabies ,

Helps keep track food for my diabetes

The only thing is I would like to see more diabetes friendly, I mean there should be something to put my diabetes numbers are I have to poke my finger before n after meals,but over all I really like this app.

Dwayne Acob ,

Wayyyyyyyy better than MFP!

Love FatSecret because you can set your macros without additional payment! Also the database is way more accurate than MFP. The biggest thing I like about this app is that it already calculates net carbs, but the downside to that is, FatSecret doesn't take alcohol sugars into account

David.Le ,

Great app with every feature for free!

I’ve been searching for awhile for an alternative to MyFitnessPal and FatSecret answered the call! Great app. Allows me to track all my macros and calories, and it’s all free. No freemium model or no subscription. Keep it up!

New Me 18 ,

Fat secret

This is a great program for me. I see the calories, the fat, and the protein, that I need, and it really helps my weight loss. It has most of the foods, that I eat. I would recommend this program to everyone.

pequeña morsa ,

Super easy and friendly to use

One of the features I live is the camera:photo option to identify food you cant find in the list...it really worked!!

JLWright8 ,

Why can’t I add food

This app used to have an option to add a food that wasn’t in the long library of known foods and now I do not see the option to add the food and it’s nutritional and caloric information. If I’m wrong and the option is still there please tell me how to do it.


Lenny resolved my issue for me. Great app.


Lenny,

Just a thought you may want to make the add a food option available before you have to actually do a search for it to show up.

I’m on an iPhone 6

Developer Response ,

Hey JLWright8,


Sorry for the issue you're experiencing. You can still add your own foods. At the bottom of any food search you'll see a link to 'Add new food'.


Please let us know if you need any more help.


Best,

Lenny

Python808 ,

The best weight loss app I’ve found.

So far this is the best app I’ve used to track what I eat. I love the way macronutrients are tracked and it makes trying to stay in ketosis easier. My only hang up is that it doesn’t count net carbs, if that were fixed I’d give it five stars.

JustKeepLoosing! ,

Half way to my goal weight !

Great way to bring your attention to how “healthy” what you eat during the day actually is ! Great graphs and visuals that help you track your progress and see results!

space8611 ,

Serious about weight loss

If you are serious about weight loss, there is no finer app out there. Easy and customizable to suit your needs. Super easy to count your calories any time of the day.

Ricka26e ,

Great for a beginner

I am a beginner at counting calories. The user interface is pretty easy to navigate. Most food items and brands are included in the search and repeat items populate with couple easy clicks. Changing passwords should be made easier.

Longhorn7 ,

My favorite app!

I've got a lot of apps on my phone. Some that I kinda enjoy, but I absolutely love FatSecret! I have dropped a lot of weight because I am tracking everything I put in my body. Not deleting this app ANYTIME soon!

Wdkirk ,

Easy to use interface

I’m glad I found the FatSecret app. Their intuitive interface makes logging my food easy and I like how it easily integrates with other health apps.

lees208 ,

Great diet app

It has all the tools to keep track of what you eat, how much you weigh and how much exercise you get. You lose weight and modify your habits just by being conscious of what you are doing.

Veryenlightened1 ,

Helpful

I am still trying it out, but so far it has really opened my eyes to exactly what my food consumption was adding up to.

I am making changes in my food choices because of the information in this app.

Just love this app, it has been instrumental in my weight loss journey. I would love to see a function where you can import recipes using a URL, but otherwise, 10/10!

Sony _21 ,

Simple and best of all free

I've been using this app for quite some time..I stop using it and trying other apps but always end coming going back to it..Very easy to use..

Bssplyer1 ,

It really works!!

I am tracking what I eat in the diary. Not only the food I eat, but also the carbs, fiber, protein, fat, etc. I have lost almost 10 pounds in 20 days using this app. It is great. Highly recommend.

Member 195 ,

Great Tool

Easy to use. Works very well to trim calories/lbs. Free?! Come on! Really?! It’s that good. Excellent at measuring, reporting, and managing. ...and through use, you will learn to make good food choices including smart serving sizes. It’s a win, win, win situation. Just use it!

nmt0569 ,

Daily fitness tracker +

Journal food intake with vast food/drink glossary, track exercise, log weight. And do it all on your schedule.

FatSecret covers it all. If you’re serious about losing weight or maintaining healthy lifestyle, this is the app to have.

kimber2u ,

Great app to keep things simple

Food additions for calorie counting is easy and the populated list is broad so you can find everything you need. Weight tracking helps keep up the motivation. All the graphs for daily nutrition consumption and weight are helpful.

dollar w2 L'S ,

Great app

This app is the best I just love it and it’s setup. It’s helping me to get motivated and set my calorie intake goals and I’m losing weight. It also helps me keep track of everything from what I ate to how many calories I burn each day.

Whitak24 ,

Great for macro tracking

Very good app. Easy to use, good database of food, etc. You can set your own macronutrient goals if that’s what you’re concerned about. The name is a bit weird and lame but don’t let that put you off the app.

gettn healthy ,

Great app

This is one of the easiest apps to use for tracking your calories and weight. The only think I wish it could do is email your doctor the info. I know it looks like you can, but every time I have tried it won’t

Matt Huge ,

Really good

The app is really good for those who need a way to track their macros.


The only thing this app is missing is about the meals options, you only have four meals and you can’t add extra meals. It need to be improved to be possible to add extra meals.

hippiegus ,

Great calorie tracking app!

This app is very user friendly and has been great at tracking by calorie intake and macro nutrient percentages. Many foods are already in your database and I have found it easy to add ones that are not.

Jacque Mg ,

Very easy to use

Fat Secret does all the logging, you just have to remember what you ate. There are several tracking aids and a chat board to share and/or unload your experience (should you want to.)

josephinehilde ,

Awareness and control

This app provides awareness of what you are eating and just how many calories it is costing me. This promotes controlled eating for me. Calories are like money. If I spend more money or calories than I have then I go into debt.

Lula'sMom ,

It really helps me stay on track!!

This app makes it easy to keep track of everything I eat. It’s the best weight/food monitoring app so far out of the 4 that I’ve tried. Very happy with it!

halibrahrm ,

Gooooooood

Great app for tracking your calories and macros at the same time, the only app I feel it is easy to use. Been using for 6 months so far and lost around 20 pounds. Highly recommended

Ken_more ,

Very handy app

Works great for making you aware of what you’re consuming and how it affects your weight. Subtle reminders prod you just enough to say on top of it and up to date. It’s working well for me!

saddenbycrapadditions ,

3weeks seems to be working as long as I am diligent

I am weighing everything not specifically listed, a bit of a pain, but after 3 weeks seems to be working.

winstonov ,

Great App

So many things I like about this app: the tips,how easy it is to use, the free version is worth using (although paid is better), the comprehensive list of foods is amazing and no ads! Gotta love it!

countngd0wn ,

Grateful for this app!

This app has kept me accountable and motivated for weight loss. It’s really nice to be able to plan meals with calories in mind before i eat rather than regretting what I’ve already eaten like i used to.

DeAnn 2 ,

Works well

Keeping track of food intake and weight. I appreciate the vast amount of foods already in the system. I’ve never had any tech problems with the app.

Babs19505010 ,

Great way to track your health

They seem to have almost any food you want to look up. I love to be able to track my fiber, fat, etc. intake. This is really helping me loose weight!

hilldm ,

Maintain weight

It is the easiest way to track ur calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium. I love how u can add ur weight as well to see the progress and how u can type in the barcode if u cannot find the product

BeckiOL ,

Excellent app

Easy to use. Lots of options for the food diary, different ways to keep track of healthy habits. I especially like the chart that shows percent of the day’s food that was carbohydrates, fat, protein.

PearlJamFan1977 ,

Updates are no good!!!

I have used this app for I think a decade or so. I have Type 1 Diabetes and have been insulin dependent since I was a little girl... for 37 years. This app WAS great because I could look up carbohydrates in meals from restaurants and I knew exactly how much insulin I needed to take for a meal. I don’t know why the restaurant information is not available anymore but I guess I will delete this app and find a new one....

xxxxxccvv ,

Easy to use

This app makes diet monitoring a snap. Easy access to just about any and all food and brand products. Daily intake of calories and weight lose is really simple. Love this app.

matrix52 ,

Easy to use

I have been using this app to count calories for several weeks and have been impressed with its ease of use and other features. It’s a great tool!

40yomale ,

Very Helpful

Great to use for free. Simple interface, lots of food information makes it easy to estimate calories. I’ve never been able to do “moderation” but somehow this is working.

Foists guy ,

Great Tracker

If you’re like me and like it short and to the point, this app makes it easy to track exactly what you’re eating and how much you’re eating. Make yourself more accountable with this thing!

Rottentot ,

Easily Keep Track

I love this app. Everything you need in one app....track calories and weight, plus find the calories in all foods, even by brand and fast food choices!

Krisytina118 ,

Love this app

I love that I can look up food from just about any restaurant or store to find the calorie count. The daily log and all of the reports are so helpful but my favorite part is the community. All of this and it’s free!! 😍

Ccc8c7 ,

Great diet tracker

This app is a great tool for good journaling. I really like the report feature that breaks out macros for the day and calories per meal. I feel like it really helps me get a good picture quickly of how different foods contribute to my health.

girl_fiasco ,

Easy to use, helping me lose

I love this app, and I find it very user friendly. Entering my own recipes is easy, and I can save the meals that I meal prep for the week to make it easier to enter those in every day.

Wundergroundfan ,

Great app

The iPhone app is even better than the website, which is excellent. Every time I start gaining weight, I go back to recording my food intake and it helps me lose again.

TennisFan147 ,

Great at tracking diet

Great food catalog, easy to create and save meals, so once you have setup few days, it becomes very easy to log in your food if you eat about the same thing everyday. Once you have your base in, it’s easy to make adjustments.

Jcrenshaw17 ,

GREAT!!

Easy app. Lots of pre-loaded meals. The exercise feature and sleep feature are a little weird. But other than that tracks for you with daily count easy entry and great community.

losingmyzenonnickname ,

Watching those calories

I like fat checker. I’d give it a 5 if it would alert me as to what I could do better. Example I am eating too many fats, all healthy fats like nuts etc., and not enough protein however I need ideas of what to do better.

OSOMANOSO ,

Great application to track dieting information

I have been using the app for a few weeks and have lost 22 lbs. Facts are louder than words. Tracking makes you more mindful.

Skitilyoufall ,

The only calorie counter app I’ll use

Super easy UI to track calories, weight, and activities. I’ve used other fitness apps but this one is the most efficient for my purposes.

JanieJ69 ,

Great app!

This so easy to use! I’ve lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks because tracking my calories is so quick and easy! Would definitely recommend!

pangosam ,

Yes yes

Such a great tool... definitely helps reach your goals and keep track of what you’re doing. All about the energy spent (aka calories). Glad to get away from being a bit too indulgent...

tlohman ,

Love this app!!

Very simple and easy to use. Great encouragement and support from those posting. It is nice to see how others deal with ups and downs of weight loss. Tons of useful information at your fingertips!

E L L ,

Perfect accountability

I am better at recording what I eat and when thanks to fat secret. I also am using this for a dieting group and we all enjoy the meal/recipe function and the graph to monitor our weight loss.

Cj's first review ,

Been using for 8 years and love it!

I have tracked my progress and failures over the years and without a doubt my goals are more successful when I am engaged with this app!

Drdraz001 ,

Simple easy keeps track

This app is great, it’s simple and easy to use and keeps track of everything! It has a huge database of food items.

tinatriesagain ,

Love this app!

Super easy to use and if you forget to fill in a meal, you can go to the day and put it back in. Scanner has found most foods that I needed to add, which is fast and convenient. Love this!!

jcvarner ,

Best Free One I’ve Found

So far this seems like the best free app in its category. I really like it and highly recommended it if you’re looking for something to help you count calories and lose weight.

PatsWI ,

Doing It With Help

FatSecret was recommended by my Internist following an event of Congestive Heart Failure, followed by stringent sodium limits. The app helps keep me on track and aware of what I am putting into my body on a daily basis. The app is comprehensive and detailed. The database is amazing, containing nutritional information from all sources. Go for it!

Guy spec ,

Excellent to track your calories

I have been using this app for approximately 1 month on a regular basis. By tracking my daily calories intake using this App, I was able to loose 8 lbs in a month.

ICEC777 ,

Great app

Didn’t think i would keep up with the counting cals but fat secret has made it so easy to stay involved I look forward to checking what cals are for what foods and documenting what I’m eating I think fat secret is fantastic

Tiddlypooh ,

Love this app

Easy Easy to use. Been using fat secret web for 4 years and I can still go back and track my progress and read my notes. This is an Awesome addition for me to keep up my logs, and it's FREE !!

mjenkinsx5 ,

Great App

I thought counting calories would be hard to keep up with but, it wasn’t and the support from others whether it’s a kick in the pants or encouragement. It works and some of the support team are lookers. #cute.

123456123456123456123456 ,

Fine food diary/weight tracking app

If you want an alternative to MFP, this works pretty well and doesn’t have any obtrusive ads. Nothing to complain about in my experience.

rebmr72 ,

Easy peasy

This app is really easy to use. I find it very helpful watching my diet balance. I wish it had the option to add calorie info when you add a meal that’s not in the search list.

YoSaffBridgey ,

Love the macro report

This app shows me not only calories but the summary by carbs/fat/protein. At the end of the day I can that I need to eat not only 200 calories but the types of calories I need to maintain a healthy balance.

jerimiahhazelnut ,

Highly recommended

Fantastic app! Allows for customization for foods eaten regularly but not found through the site’s search. Highly recommended

Dazzle in Apple Valley CA ,

I liked the older version.

This is too hard to enter my food. I used to be able to start typing Nutrisystem system call and the older version filled it in and it recorded my fat and carbs.


I just deleted this one. And I haven't even found a new one yet. But I am not fighting this thing. I had the older version for 4 years and loved it.

elf life ,

Fat Secret is a game changer!

This app is amazing! I really enjoy how it assists me in taking ownership of my health. Being able to track my macros, micros and fitness has never been so fun and rewarding! Proper fueling and fitness truly are the medicine to promote health and wellness.

Kov2013 ,

Love the app!

So easy to use! The app has so many different foods to pick and I love that it saves your recently eaten foods. The weight tab is a nice feature too. Very happy with the ease of this app and the quality!

Developer Response ,

You are too kind... we'll do our best to make it easy.


All the best,

The FatSecret team

Frankodiablo ,

Great app for healthy living

I am allergic to a lot of foods this app lets me know what I ate and keep track of grams fat f fat,carbs, sugar, and proteins. It let me know the quantities of other nutrients on my diet as sodium, potassium, calcium and iron. I can also know my progress in weight loss

Not1Not2 ,

I have been using for 4.5 years

I like this app. It is easy to construct favorite meals and it isn't intrusive. Some minor things I don't like. The food I use often according to the app haven't changed but they have but it is good enough.

Mpcjen ,

Helped me reach my goals

Love the app! It’s easy to use and track your progress. I appreciate the chat section where you can get ideas from other users.

glenn-n ,

Very good tracker

I never thought I would have to look for additional food to get up to my goal, but I’ve found that by choosing food carefully I stay satisfied and consistently stay well below the 2100 cal allowance. This app and my determination are a great team!!

Thomp27 ,

Easy Journal for eating

I love the FatSecret App. It is so easy to put in your food for all your meals. I would highly recommend it if you want to keep up with your calorie intake throughout the day. You will love it!!

buckless bean ,

Great app

Love this app. Easy to keep track of calories. Only one issue. Not sure if I’m missing something but we cook from scratch most of the time. Haven’t been able to see where you can plug in ingredients to tally a personal recipe

Super60ty ,

Fat secret

I love it ! I was tracking manually because I thought it would be complicated


I track micros and this helps me to stay on track ! It’s convenient goes where I go

gin-shiruba ,

Invaluable app

Ability to count calories so easily is indispensable for losing weight.


Must have for anyone aiming to lose or maintain weight. Went from 87kg to 84kg in 3 weeks (I know it’s gradual) and I’m very happy with the app!

Prairie Librarian ,

Keeping me honest!

Logging food gets easier with time. I like how the app keeps me honest with myself. No “diet” needed, just accountability to myself. When I consume less calories my weight comes off. Interested to see where my plateaus will be.

zxracer77 ,

Best out there!

Best food tracking app out there! Would appreciate some additional analytics that would allow me to better compare weight and calories graphically but besides that, great app!!!

Developer Response ,

Many thanks for your kind words and suggestion/feedback. We're on it! ;)


Kind regards,

Lenny

Barons mom ,

My weight loss #1 tool

It would be impossible For me to keep up with everything without this excellent tool. I highly highly highly recommend it!

Marymaryqc13 ,

Very useful

Excellent tool. Would be nice if it would remember stuff that repeats and repeats -like 2 cups of coffee every day. Why not have the default that pops up be the last used? (This applies to SO MANY apps!!) also would be nice if it recognized everyone’s ubiquitous steps as exercise.

leighcbbg ,

Excellent tracking options

...although don’t feel the motivational comments section, or sharing area is necessary for me. All in all, I’ve lost 6 lbs since Mid March and am hooked on it. :)

Tkdkelly ,

Very easy to use

Easy to use, so far finding everything I eat already here. It also makes it easy to enter frequently eaten items

Puffer dinker ,

Makes macros easy

I like the app. It was simple to learn. My only complaint is that I cannot find meals I saved. Not intuitive - at least for that. I do recommend. Wish you could track water with the free version.

jc2369 ,

Keeps me on track

This app is keeping my weight loss and diet on track. It’s easy to use, almost everything can be found.

ddddddddddddddddddfddd ,

Great way to track food.

A lot of options I have explored yet but still lost 11 pounds is 3.5 weeks just counting calories correctly.

Question: food that is not in their data base, how can we send you information ?

Notso Big Al ,

Keeps me on Track

Awesome way to find and stay aware of how many calories your eating, easy to record and keep track of your progress...motivating

cdas28 ,

My needs are met! 👍🏾

It provides what I need to track calories. What more can I say! I probably don’t use all the cool features of the app but the basic stuff is all I need and it works great

Dosgh ,

Trends

Helps especially with tracking calories and exercise over time when normally would forget

Barbflowerpower ,

This app is GREAT!

This is one of maybe 5 different food, calorie, fat, water, exercise and weight tracking app’s that I have tried and this is by far the easiest and most reliable to use!

GeekBill ,

Great App, poor sync between devices

This would be my new favorite food diary app if the sync function would work right. I like to use my iPad for food logging at home and my iPhone when out and about. But the data syncing between devices just isn’t reliable.

Paul Longun ,

Better

They don’t spam ads or membership upgrades in your face every two seconds like other apps.

vivian moreno ,

Simply the best

I Love this app because combined with my health education program at Brown University (dial study) it helps me by being aware of my daily eating habits and it is helping me to become disciplined about what I am eating everyday.

bluejeanbaby62 ,

Love this app

I’m a type 1 diabetic and counting my carbs and protein. I am able to set up what I want to count in this app an choose how many calories to eat! I highly recommend this app to all!

JessEffingBlack ,

Great Free App to Monitor Diet

I have not dug into the app too much, but it has most of the foods that I eat (or something comprable) to choose under the food tab and it’s easy to log what you eat and keep track of your weight loss progress.

Наталия Вольхина ,

My favorite app

It’s really very cool app for counting calories, track your food and water, even you can track your workout. Its really helpful, and I can see story of my weight - it’s really nice

mjr6382364829 ,

Very good, keep developing

Decent integration with my fit bit. Good data base of foods. Would like help getting nutritional info for my own recipes. Would like more options about what nutritional aspects of my diet are reported. How about water intake tracking?

Fertilemytrtle ,

User friendly, all the features I need

User friendly and leaves me feeling like I’m in control of my eating choices rather than giving me tons of advice. Also free!!

PGraceshell ,

Great App

Once you learn how to use this app, it’s amazingly powerful and easy to use. I track my food, macros, weight and exercise. Easy to download reports or transfer information.

Meche Vazquez ,

Great app

I’ve been using it for the last two weeks and love it! Although it doesn’t give me the net carbs consumed, it shows all the information necessary to deduct it.

Em1079 ,

Not entering recipes

I’m having the same problem as I’ve seen reviews of since March. It is impossible to save a recipe. I’ve tried repeatedly but then it goes back to the original recipe page and I cannot find the one Ive entered. Please fix this or help me find where the recipe is, I like the app besides this, but it is incredibly frustrating to enter so much info multiple times just to have it deleted!

Developer Response ,

Hi,


Your recipe should be showing up in your Cookbook, which you'll see when you add food to your diary (navigate to the right from the "Search" until you get to cookbook.


We are actually rebuilding the recipes section at the moment and trying to get it live by end of the year.


Ben

Seam273995939489 ,

Easy to use

The fat calorie app is so easy to use. I love how it has many food options to select

Rather than having to manually add everything in.

Tprchavez ,

Just what I needed

Let’s me log activities and meals in one place. I like that I can set a weekly meal plan (small add’l fee but totally worth it) and then adjust my days as I go through the week. Only suggestion is adding time actually ate and maybe a hunger rating.

Neilbond ,

Great App

This app is the only calculator you will need. Has all the food to check macros. You can easily scan the product to find and enter your macros. Best part is it’s FREE!! You won’t go wrong with this app.

Jeyaganesh V ,

Not great

This app is so dump and you can see it while creating own custom meal. It doesn’t allow to edit easily.


First you should not take the subscription money without trial period which is a kind of cheating to my view.. if the app is not functioning , we can’t contact anyone in chat or over phone.


I paid for subscription but not using due to frustration of using this app.

rysky9A ,

Great for keeping weight goal

I have been using FatSecret for many years. Started at 210 lbs. have been able to keep my weight at goal of 140 and no more than 160 for 6 years.

SE0000001 ,

Overall pretty good app

Easy to log foods and keep track of your weight. However, I can’t figure out how to add foods that are not in the database. You can add recipes, but I can’t figure out how to delete the recipe that I messed up typing in.

Chefguy64 ,

Easy to use

Program does what it’s supposed to do.... keep a calorie journal really helps intake and setting goals to lose weight. You can find almost any food in the database or something really close. Not bad for free and no ads!

Harleyrick1501 ,

Wonderful Aid to Weight Loss

Excellent resource for people who really want to understand what they are eating and how it leads to weight gain or loss. Easy to use and gets better the longer you use it.

JSwolly ,

Awesome

I’ve used for years when I need to get my macros precise. Very easy to use and full of food items to make keeping track a minor part of the day.

SassyPantz2.0 ,

LOVE this App!

This app is super user friendly. Gives me all the tools I need to hold myself accountable and stay on track with my health goals. Added bonuses of free recipe sharing and a great community of people.

Meiko iPad Air 2 ,

Easy to use and track progress

It’s easy to log diary, find recipes and see others progress for inspiration.

Tracker

I enjoy this tracker only to hold myself accountable. This app is easy to use I absolutely love that every section has a note section for your thoughts at that moment great app and super

Affordable

Submit578 ,

Helps

If you don’t have any idea of what calories you are taking in you will take in too many. Thank you FatSecret. I have lost ten pounds in ten weeks. Makes it easy

Flaxseed Bob ,

Great App, Suggested Improvement

Recommend that users be able to select foods as a “Favorite” and the app store them for future use. “Recently Eaten” and “Most Eaten” isn’t enough or accurate.

faithkey121 ,

Super Easy

I’m a teenager using this app and it’s amazing! It’s really easy for me to maneuver through and log all my food and weight! Only thing that could be better is if they added more brands and more restaurant chains to the app, but besides that i love it!

Markib11111 ,

Very nice app!

I love this app. I like knowing exactly what I’m putting into my body and knowing where I need to improve on foods. I highly recommend this app, even if you don’t need to lose weight.

w9we.lee ,

Calorie counter by FatSecret

This is really helpful. I am able to scan most of my items & instantly shows fat/carb/proteins.

Also totals on cholesterol/sugars/fiber. I’ve lost 2 pounds this first week. Give it a try.

Aunt WBT ,

Easy to use

Easy to use, offers multiple suggestions for each item typed in

Sufnf ,

Best

Truly the best app I have used. The fact is the tedious part of counting is having to add the items in. This app has them all loaded to include the fast food and restaurants places you eat.

schamlzy ,

Great app for the most part

I wish that all your recent meals would carry over to breakfast lunch or dinner. I often eat for lunch what I had for dinner and I can’t choose it without re entering all the food data. Other than that, I love the app!!

mokupuni ,

A great tool with a great community

I have been a user for many years. Pre-app! The app keeps getting better and better. Thank you Fat Secret and the FS community for always being there for me/us.

Maeday42 ,

Love this ap

I've used this for over a year now and it is user friendly and opens a support system I don't currently have in my life. I highly recommend it.

naybay2020 ,

Easy to use and great!

It’s quick, con ya don’t easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone needing to track their eating habits or potentially plan out their meal by seeing calories per day in advance! 🤙🏽

ladyzhu ,

Love this app

Helps keep me on track ; love the ability to change units; the database is fantastic; support is helpful when I can’t figure something out

FatSecret Rules!

This app makes it very easy to track food I eat and keep track of my macros. I’ve been using it for a month and already lost 12 pounds.

happy consumer 2 ,

Excellent service for tracking food and losing weight

I like the extensive list of foods. Also I like the nutrition details that are given. Plus I like the reminders.

atlb1974 ,

Nice looking, but not customizable enough

Liked what I saw from this app....but 2 major issues. 1) forced you to buy a subscription to see the premium options....need a trial period because 2) tries to enter custom food, and their was no way to enter detailed nutrition info...that is unacceptable....wish they would issue a refund....$10 wasted

ldmwv ,

Great Tool Easy to Use

So easy to use!! Track your journey the way you want. Weight, meals, nutrients, workouts or track it all!! This allows you to journal your way through to success.

HabibaNola ,

Focus and features

Helps keep the focus on daily decisions. Helpful features like recent or favorite foods and the ability to add your own recipes. Also, makes it easy to customize your serving size.

FattGyrl ,

Being fat is not a secret

It works pretty awesome. I like being able to scan a barcode and get information an ad it to the day so I know how much I’m taking in.

Lifecolors ,

Awesome

I am not one to write reviews but this app is outstanding and I have used every food diary app. I love that you can enter your macro and nutrients and it calculates everything in a simple and visual way. Very happy.

Antener ,

Good and flexible

Great database of foods for tracking. You can go as deep as you want with community, targets, macros, etc. or just stay at a 30,000 foot view like me and just use weight and food tracking.

Kathyfromflorida ,

Everything at your fingertips

Best app ever! Love it. Records carbs fiber fat and protein of everything you eat. Love it also provides a percentage circle to see if you stray from a balanced diet. Try if and you will love it as well

alallen098 ,

One of the best apps to track what you eat

I am enjoying the app. It is doing exactly what I need. I am in a weight loss program and it allows me to precisely track my calories intake

alwayshopehoney ,

User friendly

Easy to use. Some foods aren’t loaded, I use what is close because it’s easy and I’m concentrating on the habit of logging my meals. Only 4 stars because I wish the free app also had a way to track water intake.

kmc706 ,

Very helpful app

Have used others and like this app a lot for inputting and managing calories and macros. There are some features available if you are using a computer that are not available on the app.

Dale Loomis ,

Easy and accurate. Excellent food/kcal data base!

Found it easy to work with. The food and portion look up tool takes the task out of the dreaded counting calories! Try it and best of luck with your diet!

panachar ,

Ease of use

This App is very user friendly and it’s a great daily reminder of your habits. It makes you conscious of what you are eating. We are losing weight slowly, but in a healthy way :)

JenR7 ,

Awesome App!!

I absolutely love this app! It is very user friendly and so easy to use. I definitely recommend this app to anyone who is on a weight “release” journey. This app will keep you on track! Love it!

Woperchild ,

Easy to use

This is an easy to use interface and not cluttered up with a bunch of clickbait like some other apps. Just hope I can stick with it!

TenaTrena ,

Easy & User Friendly

The Fat Secret App is so easy to use & it's showing me hidden sugar, salt & carbs in the foods I'm eating. It's so much easier than manually counting calories & provides much more information.

RanMoo ,

Problem Corrected

Recent food items disappeared. The developer contacted me and contacted the problem. Great job! Everything works perfectly now. Thanks

Developer Response ,

Hello, Our apologies for the inconvenience with Recently Eaten - we will release an improvement for this soon in version 9.4, which will restore the groupings by meal.

FatSecret

Very nice app. It does everything I need it to do and 1,000’s of foods to choose from. Just wish I could delete or edit a meal I added, otherwise, best I’ve found so far.

Developer Response ,

Hi, thanks for your feedback. There was an issue with displaying the edit meal menu. Please update to the latest version and try again.

Great tool for weight loss

I use Fat Secret to track calories and my daily calorie deficit. It really helps me stay on track and make good choices about what I eat. Highly recommended.

ARH1980* ,

I love FatSecret

I’ve been using FatSecret, for 8 years. It’s helped me loose weight. It’s wonderful at tracking my foods, and has some yummy recipes. It’s also easy to track your weight loss.

Love this site

I have used weight watchers in the past and this works great! I’m down 11 1/2 lbs with FatSecrets help. They make it very easy to track everything including any exercise

A great app !

This app is definitely very helpful with my nutrition and calorie goals the food diary needs to updated more often and a feature that shows your calorie goal would be a great idea still a very useful app

Replacement for myfitnesspal

Myfitnesspal started running extremely slow so I tried this app. It offers everything that myfitness pal does. For free without adds.

Brian300300 ,

Very handy for low carb diet tracking

Works great for tracking meals. Food searches include a vast database. Entering food and meals in the diary works really well once you get the hang of it. Provides nice charts and weekly summaries of weight, meals and macronutrients.

Far secret works

I have lost 28lbs with diet and exercise, but fat secret has helped me keep track so I manage my intake of calories and fats without having to search every food or save every wrapper for nutritional value. I recommend it

ISUS&C ,

Fat Secret Works Well

Better than MyFitnessPal in its food diary access and use. Easy weight tracking and simple for those looking to track macros and calories.

great diet tool ,

Fat secret

Plenty of food choices already there; but if not, I just enter the nutritional data and my choices are there all the time! Easy to use , informative!

No Barcode Scanner!!!!!

I really liked how easy it was to change weights and volumes. I just can’t take the time to search for everything I eat which makes a barcode scanner a must. Strike 1

You can’t added additional meals or change the names of them and there is only a combined Snacks catch all. Strike 2

Limited activity and exercise input and if I create something custom I need to do it each time I do it. Strike 3

I never even got to consider the price but I have a problem on principle with subscription apps that want $35 plus dollar per year.


Sorry, you need to be perfect for that kind of money.

Developer Response ,

Hi Max,


There is a barcode scanner option for any place you go to use the camera. More people prefer to take photos of their food which is why we default to photo mode, but the barcode scanner is in there.


Additional meal headings are available as part of the premium service.

Great motivation tool!!!

I look forward to documenting my day this way I can see where my mistakes are and what foods work for my diet. I’ve been consistent for about a week and lost 2.5 lbs!!!

Eye opening!

Trying to lose weight to control my diabetes. This program has been a great way to track weight, calories, fat intake... Truly eye opening.

Radrldy ,

Radrldy

I’m sure this app more information that I have not yet unlocked, but it helps me keep track of eating and exercise daily. I really needed to lose weight but I found out I have liver disease so losing weight is not optional it’s mandatory.

Son1p ,

Loving it!

FatSecret makes counting calories easy. I can look up meals that is close in calories and keep track of everything. The only thing I wish they add would make it even more perfect is body measurements.

varonkma ,

Excellent app for lose weight

baraholka ,

Great app!!

You must download this app if you have a goal to watch what you eat. Bad or good calories, even if you cheating everyday but having your daily calories then its no more struggle!

Sqfromsc ,

Easy to use

After a short learning curve, this app is very easy to use. You have the ability to add to their extensive list.

Brooks interiors ,

Fatsecret

I love being able to plug in calories to check my progress all day. Because of the tracking im more motivated and really watch what i eat.

Great way to journey to better health!

I appreciate being able to record my progress in weight loss AND get a realistic view of what’s really in the foods I eat.

Helpful Diet Tool

I like tracking my weight daily. This app helps you be accountable for the reasons your not losing by tracking your calories too.

Ren Abear ,

Best calorie counter and health management

Been using Fat Secret app for years. I have tried others to see the difference; bar none, the FatSecret app is my absolute favorite and go to app.

JBalconi ,

Better than others

I have tried a few different apps, free and subscription-supported, and this one works the best for me. Very easy to use.

So helpful on my weight loss journey

Loosening weight the easy and right way!

This App has improved a lot! I love it, easy to use, down 7 pounds in the first week! I’m not big on exercising. I walk and eat!

Mezzoishere ,

Helps me lose weight

This app is so much easier, in some respects, in calculating and helping me keep track of everything I put in my mouth. Thank you.

Sue 64 GB new phone 2019 ,

Only one that helped me

Tried of course a lot but this one truly helped me until I stopped so back on the horse to lose again

AnnLoEnd ,

Easy to use!

This app has everything I was looking for. It’s very easy to use and to maneuver through. Easy to find foods to count calories.

Asdjeosbdlf ,

The best app ever

By far the best. How straightforward and the fact that they don't have ads everytime you go on are enough reasons for me to stay being a regular user.

KristaMarieCarter ,

Best Fitness Tracking App

This is the best calorie/exercise tracking app I have ever tried. Simple, tracks macros, and even has ‘Standing’ as an activity. Can’t recommend this app enough.

Matt72737383 ,

Needs to add exercise calories to daily calories

Not everyone wants to lose weight, and even then, sometimes they still want exercise calories added to the daily caloric requirement.

Mitch_kodus ,

one issue that doesn’t make it 5 stars

Truly like it a lot and layout. Only problem with the app is that some people have more than 4 meals a day. They should give you the option to add meal quantities.

Norma Jean Actress ,

Very Helpful!

This app is extremely helpful in showing me my progress. Food tracking is really important and this app makes it so easy. Thank you!

Duhbeara ,

Getting Better

This app is getting better all the time. The food data base is much more extensive than before. Very easy to use.

ugabear ,

Old fat guy...and I love this app

I’m very educated when it comes to “food”, but...that doesn’t mean that I always do what I should. However, now I use this app to “budget” what I eat and it has helped me easily lose weight without starving myself.

Heather Wendlowsky ,

Not too shabby

So, I love pretty much everything about the app. My only wish is that you can customize your daily calorie and macro intake goals instead of just going with whatever the app’s goals are. Otherwise, pretty darn good.

P66x ,

Enlightening

This is the easiest and best app I’ve used to keep an honest log of what I’m eating. It instantly shows the calories, fat, carbs, etc. that I consume. I can see where I mess up and stop it beforehand.

ЛакиСпб ,

Feature request - enter food weight with keyboard

It is very time consuming when you move numbers from 1000 grams to 200 grams by the wheel. Just give option to enter exact weight with keyboard

Sonia’s ,

Love this app!

My only app for weight tracking and weight loss. I started a week ago and have lost 5 lbs, just watching my calories and using their recipes!

davidsweeneyart.com ,

I got this to monitor my salt intake

...and now I use it to track calories, exercise, weight maintenance... It's a great app, easy to use and very informative. It's also a tool to keep yourself accountable.

perfecteau ,

Great app!

This app is easy to use and I really like but it has a graph showing the percentages of fats proteins and carbohydrates. You can easily scan foods and add them manually with no problem.

userfrommexico ,

Great tool to keep track of your food consumption during the day

I love that I can know if I have to stop eating certain foods and at a certain time

Luisa Angelo ,

The best app to track your meals

I like this app because I can find many foods and sometimes also foods in restaurants... I had never seen a better app!

FredG1 ,

Calendar dates are off!

I didn’t notice until tonight that the November dates are off! After checking the days you have two 11/4’s in the calendar! 11/4 Sunday and 11/4 Monday. This mistake through things off for me!!!

Fat Secret keeps me on track with my food goals and let’s me see at the end of the day where maybe I struggled a bit so that I can do better next time . Best app on my phone

haircutee ,

Great App

By using Fat Secret I have really been able to track my caloric intake and track my nutrition. In just 11 days using this app and watching what I’m eating, I have lost 6.2 lbs. that is .56 lbs per day.

Brittburt08 ,

Helpful

Like that it had meal plans, a variety of good recipes. This app has a large variety of a food data base and a good community to support you in weight loss and healthy eating.

zephyrzar ,

The Easiest

Way better and much clearer to understand than other apps. I like you can share everything with your trainer!

agconnor ,

Works well and it’s easy to use

It takes a little time to get used to but once you’re onboard the app is really easy to use. It has all you need to track your progress.

e_d_d____ ,

Amazing app

It has all the foods you need for calorie tracking. The weigh in feature is great as well as the premium features available

Animal Dave ,

Useful Program

Fairly friendly and intuitive. Saves a lot of records keeping with organized presentations. Well put together. If you are serious about the diet, you’ll like it.

Kindie12 ,

Easy to add food for the day!

This app is great! I love the different options for saving food via searching, barcode, etc. I also like that it recognizes my common meals, which makes selecting those even faster.

Ariefbsy ,

Need to sync data between web n app version

Very nice app, help me to count daily calories , but its easier to choose food on web version than the apps . Hope the developer sync the database on web n app

Dane W. ,

Simple, Easy, and Awesome!

It’s so simple to input my goals and keep track of what I'm putting into my body. Also a great way to keep track of weight-loss while on a new diet.

Hunterprius ,

Good library of products

Been using this app for some time. For my purposes, it works great. I primarily use as a food diary and there’s rarely an item I can’t find.

Great app for tracking food!

This app has so many features and makes it

So easyyy to track food and really tell you what you’re eating!

Bird lover forever ,

Try it. It’s great.

Thanks for a great app. Noom has nothing over you guys. This app is so much more user friendly, gives detailed info, and provides a personal touch.

Trashonsaturn ,

Helpful!

It really helps me keep track of everything to reach my goal, the counting calories aspect really helps me gain control of what I eat. Recommend 100%

DJGTotal90 ,

Love the app

I have used several apps to log food intake and this is by far the best. It really has everything I am looking for and is super easy to use.

fabiola robinson ,

Wow!!!!

Literally amazing! I hate weighing myself, I hate counting calories, and with this app was made so easy, it actually helped me loose 20 lbs with the diet I was doing.

I’m obsessed with this app, thank you to whomever is the creator!

Toria486 ,

Easiest and best

Fat Secret is the easiest and best meal tracker out there. The format is clear, the process is quick and simple to add foods, and the app remembers foods you eat. There is rarely a food that Fat Secret does not scan and recognize.

Pacifichawk ,

Love it!

I have been using the app for 3 years. I lost 20 lbs using this app 2 years ago and use it every day to log my weight and food. Best weight control app for me.

kaylahewitt ,

Keeps you accountable

I am down 7 pounds after not being able to lose an ounce for a long time!

Sleep Me Please ,

Ease of Use

I like this app better than the more popular options. The ease of use is appreciated. Also, I continued to discover helpful features.

Fursjaguar ,

Great App

I really like this app. You can track your weight loss, and the food diary allows you to custom add food easily and even share with the public.

Andrew14dk ,

Awesome selection

Most different and comprehensive food options out of any app I have tried. Would just love if they were able to pull more info from the Fitbit app like body weight.

Singapore Miss ,

First time

First time I have been able to discipline myself when trying to lose weight. Logging weight and calorie intake becomes routine and I must say a bit of fun. Looking forward to reaching my target weight.

Conradsk ,

Easy & quick; great food database.

Easy & quick; great food database. Takes just seconds to log your eating, weight, etc. My third app, and the best I’ve used.

costcosamplesnatcher ,

Ok app

The FatSecret community is mostly encouraging and supportive. There is no way to block those who body shame, bully or use the FS community as another social media app. Overall a great app but experience is ruined by a few who targets those who have successfully lost who maintained their weight. They’ve changed it in an upgrade. Took away some features like preplanning to introduce a paid version.

DragonRhythm ,

Easy to use!

I am enjoying entering my food since it makes it easy to find most anything and quickly get my food entered.

Love twisted things ,

Tracking food works!

Using FatSecret to keep track of what I eat and adding a little exercise, I’ve lost 15 pounds almost by accident. Fat Secret is an intuitive app that keeps me honest. 😍

Wonderful app

Once I used it a few times I was able to keep track of everything. Very nice

Jpeits ,

I lost 50 lbs

PC702💕 ,

Great App for Health Goals!

FatSecret is a helpful tool that helps you track and monitor meals, exercise and sleep habits. It also has reports that show nutrient and macro information.

Highly recommend!! 👍🏻😀

minerpro ,

Great way to lose weight

I love this app. It allows me to monitor my intake without feeling like I'm on a diet. Its amazing how many foods are already listed into the Ap. Makes diary input easy and fast.

Speed pilot ,

Great app!

I am finding more and more slick features in this app. So far I am logging my meals and tracking weight - the long list of restaurant meals makes this easy to use.

Fatsecret

This is so much easier instead of carrying around a notebook I always have my phone so recording much easier.

Keeps me aware of how much and what I have ate

Made all the difference

Lost 30 lbs through mindful attention to behavior and calories and slow but sustained change.

RadientR ,

Still impressed

Hi, quite a few years ago, I used and enjoyed the app “Fat Secret” which was fun, entertaining and best of all, I lost 40 lbs with the help from FatSecret! I’m here again to lose approx 15 lbs more... and I’m sure that FatSecret has gotten better!

Thanks FatSecret, I’m yours!

Easy carb monitor

This app is really helpful for many purposes such as calorie counting and or understanding the Percentages of fat vs carbs being consumed etc. I mainly use it to monitor total carb count which then help me monitor my glucose

KewaneeDon ,

Works

Works great for me. It has all the features I need with intuitive interface that is easy for me to use. You can’t go wrong.

wadiahj ,

Love this app. Easy to use

I started this app months ago and I love it. I tried others but as a 66 year old this one is really user friendly.

Edward Gilbert ,

FatSecret

The Best app I’ve found and I’ve tried many and most of them are to complicated or make it hard to enter your own foods.

hm_walks ,

Really good weight loss app

This app has really worked well for me. It helps the user think a lot about what you are eating, when and why.

DCMom17 ,

Great tool!

I originally started using this to count carbs for my son who is Type 1 diabetic. It’s so easy to use, I now use it to track my food intake to help me balance my carbs/protein/fats.

Yokil Manner ,

Love it

Soo easy to track calories. Makes it super quick when I can just scan the image of the food I’m eating.

Parasol1947 ,

Love the app, BUT

I like this app especially because the food list is comprehensive AND the portion size can be adjusted. Macro nutrients are tracked, very important to my progress! ALTHOUGH, I CAN NOT depend on FatSecret to open consistently!!!! Not good.

Spartan 4_Life ,

Love this app! Helped me get back in track!

Easy peasy! Got my eating back under control after quarantine! I’m losing weight and feeling much better!

DarrensAngel03 ,

Great App!

This app has helped me lose 40 lbs so far! So easy to keep track of my daily calories, protein, carbs, etc. Thanks so much for making this available :)

Sir Roy Atom ,

Super app

I love this app as it really shows me how many calories I eat a day. Even if I have a piece of chocolate I can see how I can reduce something else to keep to my 1500 calories.

MvGeel ,

Perfect, just what I need!

I graduated with a 55# weight loss from Noom, and needed a continuing program to keep me on track. And I found it with FatSecret. I can’t say I like the name, but what it helps me to reach is great!! 16# to go!!!

Paulds7 ,

Knowledge is power

Food is deceptive what looks good but carbs are heavy. Used it as a eating tool.

This app can help you choose food and keep count and watch carbs to fat to protein.

Eat healthy, loss weight and be health.

I have been using this program for years now and I love it, it is really a great program if you want to be in a community of people that really care…

Skips0330 ,

Great app

This app is great. You have support from so many other people. You can share your ups and downs and they all encourage you. It’s great at helping me stay on track.

Missybutton ,

Can’t track net carbs

Love this app on my iPad, but it won’t let me track NET CARBS. The main website does allow you to choose net carbs (instead of carbs), but not the iPad—which is my go-to device for logging daily food. How do I change to NET CARBS on iPad?

Nova62400 ,

Like my fitness pal but less annoying

Only thing I liked better about MFP was the ability to type quantity numbers in rather than scrolling. If you’re annoyed with MFP try this.

Ross Tentoco ,

Great

This app is awesome!!! Keeps me track on all that I ate for the day and also gives me an exact count of food intake I need and not just assuming! I really enjoy using this app. Thank you!

#41Pete ,

Best food database

It’s all about accurate numbers to track what you’re eating, right? This is my go-to! Always has what I’m looking for, and accurate. Thanks!

Nezzmonstah ,

Nezzie

This is the best method for tracking your meals/ macros and weight. I tried a couple of other popular ones and Fat Secret is the easiest one to use. So user friendly.

EQ2Tippit ,

Decent app

Obviously all apps need user input to be better, but has a wide variety of foods, Lino ability to other apps and is very complimentary to digital journaling

Carly24Jean ,

Won’t let you add what you ate

The app won’t let you add what you ate to keep track of your calories unless you pay for a meal planner thing. I could easily find the meal replacement I was drinking and checked it but it would not show in my breakfast column unless I pay from one of the selections on the pop up, also want to charge to keep track of your water intake.

Albamoon ,

Does what you want!

Not complicated to log foods. Easy to find almost every food. Better than expected

Entertained 317 ,

Community

I have enjoyed seeing other people’s stories and recipes. Seeing the breakdown of what I eat is extremely helpful. The app is working for me and motivates me.

Mutiatdms ,

Tonybee4 ,

Really great app!

Wow this app is so easy to use!

I cut my calorie intake and still ate foods which I was happy with and incredibly lost 11.8 kg in 4 weeks!

No one believed that this is possible!

It really was not a awful effort!

Flogrown65 ,

A must

Went back in Keto and wanted to track my calorie intake as well as fat, carbs , and protein. This app is ideal. I really can’t find any flaws. Very easy to use and pick your foods.

Spahn58 ,

Great App

This is truly a great app. I’ve been using this since the start of this year. It does/has everything that I need to record my journey.

❤️

I love this app so much! I used to have Weight Watchers but it was really expensive and this does the same things! Definitely recommend!!!

Cracked123456 ,

Solid app

Used both this and My Fitness Pal. Prefer Fat Secret because there is not such a focus on social or in-app purchased...no account creation, no unlock premium features. Thanks.

fit james ,

EasyTo use!

Success for me comes from making things easy and reproducible. Far secret allows me to remain consistent because it is easy to make entries

Best food tracking app ever

My nutritionist suggested this app and it has been a very useful tool through my bariatric surgery process. I can not recommend it enough!

Fat secret keeps me in check with my macros. I use it every single day began dieting in early January and it’s mid March I’ve lost 30 lbs. I wouldn’t have come this far without this app. Thanks fat secret !!!

Easier and better than MyFitnessPal

Used MyFitness for along time. It’s gotten worse since purchased by UnderArmor. Using this is quicker, easier, and free.

gunnz-smooth ,

Easy of use

Pros: ease-of-use, ability to view macros and goals easily without changing screens.

Cons: food database lacks slightly compared to another app previously used.


I am glad I changed to this app.

Easy to use and excellent tracker! Weight loss is slow at my age, even with lots of exercise. But the weight has been dropping consistently.

Convenient

I love how easy it is to store all of my food in one place. This app has definitely helped me keep my daily calorie/ carb intake under control.

Great app!

This app is great to track the foods you’re eating. Don’t go by the nutrition info that some have listed for foods because its wrong. Put your own info in.

ilikemuaythai ,

If you’re serious

If you’re serious, and truly honest with yourself this is a great tool. It’s pretty user friendly, and can really guide you to shape your body composition.

Better choices on food dietary labels

I know I'm asking too much .....how bout scanning labels to get actual or close to get exact amount on our smart phone . I'm a low carb style person need the know how close it can be .....

Napoleon1975 ,

Not quite 100%

This app is great for getting an estimate of how many calories you’ve consumed and how much you’ve burned. The food data base and the exercise options are good but not 100%. Over all it’s a good way app.

the mayor of realville ,

Stay with it

I became annoyed with My Fitness Pal. This app is a bit tricky at first but fairly intuitive and I enjoy the reporting data and structure. I also enjoy plugging in my carb fat and protein percentages as I eat to those measures as much as I do calories.

ABWW357 ,

Great tool!

Fat Secret has been such a helpful tool in keeping me on track. I’ve lost almost thirty pounds so far by counting calories. Fat Secret takes the guess work out of it.

Divie2010 ,

Headed in right direction!

This is the first app that allows more calories than other apps leading to better weight loss. It’s a much healthier way to lose!

FatSecret

This program is easy to use and has been very helpful in helping me lose these last few pounds.

Why? The database of foods is enormous, I can save favorite meals, add new foods, and I love the charts that show my overall fat/carb/protein percentages for each day. The community forum I joined is friendly and supportive, too.

Love this app it keeps me honest and in touch with my food choices great way to watch my calorie intake which is the only thing I monitor when I’m dieting

BigB 7272 ,

Very good overall.

Very good for tracking. Not always the most intuitive and won’t let you select half servings (or maybe I can’t figure it out). Overall quite good.

Nancilaw ,

Fat secret phone app

I like it it makes it very portable. But it doesn't seem to have all the features of the computer program. But I'm still learning so maybe it's user error.

Seaflamr ,

Love it

After suffering a brain aneurysm I have a hard time keeping track of my calories so this helps me as long as I remember to input what I eat

Pretty great, hit small improvements would make it amazing.

If the food search and saving were a bit kore intuitive, and required less taps to o through, that would be awesome.

I love using this app to track my weight and diet. SUPER easy and intuitive interface. Plus, most of the foods you go to add are already in their database. Awesome

Iron cross bb ,

Easy to use app- can add weight to log daily and food intake. Foods are pretty easy to find or at least something very similar so it’s pretty accurate for counting carbs and calories.

FutureMrsNeff ,

Update needed?

The app keeps glitching. If I try to log anything on a past day the app closes itself. Seems like maybe an update needed to fix the bug. Hope that comes soon, I’ve had the app you years and love it!

Pretty good App

I have used this app for several years and it’s up to date when entering food items. It works with other apps as well. Thank you Calorie Counter app thing!!

Spielnicht ,

Need to invest in your User Experience

Signed up with this because it’s supported by Castlight but the app design and web interface made me run back and re-up my subscription with Lifesum. The interface of the FatSecret iPhone app is meh at best, but the desktop site is just a sorry excuse for a service that’s suppose to motivate you and in tune with 2019 design standards. Made me think of Reddit.

Tashmall ,

Easier and accurate that my fitness pal

Like much better that’s my fitness pal, it’s easier and accurate, it finds food and meals fats

lrsouthard ,

FatSecret app

Helps me fully track and preplan my daily caloric intake, easy to track macronutrients as well and adjust food accordingly. Easy app!!! Tons of fresh, non packaged food nutrients already stored.

dbajul ,

Great app

This app has information on all foods and edibles even alcohol values. It really helps to find where unaccounted calories are coming from. Helps identify culprit foods that cause weight gain

Pvt Culp ,

The best tracking app I’ve used

I’ve used a couple other tracking/macro/calorie apps, primarily LoseIt, and this one is the best. Easy to use has a lot to it.

transform 528 ,

Fat Secret App

Easy to use for tracking all food so you get a review of your daily eating pattern. Would like to see another section for journaling regarding “stress eating.”

Owe my weight control to this app

Easy scan of bar codes, extensive database of foods, and easily editable data make this an outstanding tool.

Sillysugargoose ,

Many thanks,

Helped a lot

You think you know how many calories your eating but you may be surprised! Simply and easy. Thanks

markgio76 ,

Doesn’t sync between devices

v8.2.9 is not syncing across devices very well if at all. This weekend as I was out and about using my iPhone X I would add foods to my diary, but when getting home & switching to my iPad the foods I added during the day were not there. Very poor experience. This needs to be updated ASAP. 1 star until fixed. Maybe while you’re at it you could add a refresh button or “pull to refresh” so I don’t have to force close the app to get it to hit the server to sync foods added from another device. Thanks


iPad Mini 3 - iOS 12.3

iPad (6th Gen) - iOS 12.3

App keeps me accountable

This app has helped me immensely on my diet journey. I’m early in, about 2 months, but entering my food journal and daily weights are helping to keep me on track.

Ana_Ziaziulia ,

Products from other countries

Sometimes I eat products from other countries, and in order to find them I have to switch the country.

Great app for helping you lose weight

Mr. Scrindign ,

Informative and unique

This app is pretty sweet. It does take dedication in keeping it up dated with all the info, but seeing the results and the data is pretty cool. Worth getting.

pumps r us ,

Easy and accurate

I find this app to be easy to use and accurate in calorie counts. It’s a tool, not the answer to weight loss.

HammerLX ,

The perfect app

Large selection of foods with accurate macros and calories. Weight monitoring feature is a bonus. All around this app is a great tool.

Fullabella ,

Great app great community

This app has been saving me time and energy in keeping track of what I consume all day. It tracks all of the information I need to be successful at meeting my new healthy lifestyle goal.

FightingSquirrel ,

Love the reports

I love the nutritional reports from FatSecret. However having difficulty syncing my Fitbit exercise tracking with the app. Also, the database for searching foods seems much more limited than MyFitnessPal. Maybe it’s the search engine?

walshsherman ,

FatSecret

This app is perfect for tracking my macronutrients and calories. It has many foods loaded making it easy to find and enter my intake.

900me ,

Graph it!

FatSecret is the only app I have found that shows the daily calorie total in a graph, with the days as the X axis and the # of calories on the Y axis. A black line runs through the middle representing my target. This calendar graph is MOTIVATING!!! It’s the best!

Inia0625 ,

The best app I’ve ever used!

I’ve tried many of the most popular fitness apps. By far this is the one I find most user friendly. Love it.

Rsmom56 ,

Love it

This app is easy to use, and has a good data base of foods. I wish, though , that there were more options in terms of adjusting portion sizes.

fobat ,

App counts macros!

I have had the app for a short time and I like that I can count macros. There’s also an online support group. Overall I am pleased with the App.

Ottersmom23 ,

Good app to stay on top of eating

I love watching the history of my weight. Entering my food before I eat holds me more accountable. Only negative is I feel like the calorie counts for the exercises may be a bit off

Capeman919 ,

MOBIL app has issues

I have been using this for two years and and now the calendar has a problem the day is incorrect. No way to sync to my computer so I deleted my account. No response from support.

Developer Response ,

Hi,


Anything you record on your phone should automatically sync back to the website and vice versa.


We are aware of an issue in iOS whereby calendars are showing two entries for whatever day Daylight Savings ends. Our developer is working on a fix.


If you're able, can you please email me directly: ben@fatsecret.com with details of when you contacted support.

G.S.R.T. Sq 1 ,

Great App

This is a much better app than the other calorie counters out there; and what I really enjoy is the free Macros Counter. The one thing I wish is the search option was a little better.

Tuna Ketchup ,

Great app

I highly recommend this app for tracking calories and meals. Very extensive and easy to use once you get the hang of it.

Safari cal ,

Very helpful

I’m 3 weeks in to fat secret. It’s helpful by giving guidelines on carbs, fats and proteins then measuring each. Love the way most foods I eat are in the library. Down 4 lbs so far, 14 to go.

Amazing!

I love this! Who knew I could lose so much weight by just staying within my optimal calories! Also, the community is supportive and helpful!

Caloric Intake

I just downloaded the app today to use in a study I am participating in. I wish there was a way to change your caloric intake. So far the app seems pretty easy to use.

Dinaper ,

Easy to Use

This app has really helped me track calories. Easy to use. I had no idea how much sodium I ingested daily and I’m not sure this is 100% accurate, but if it’s in the ballpark, it’s helpful.

kwhit013 ,

Glitch problem

This app is amazing! but it keeps glitching out of the app after I’ve only used it for 1 day. I restarted my phone but the app is still doing it.

sharonSLC ,

It's smart

I love FatSceret. It's easy to use and has a lot of food information stored. I especially like the scanner and that it stores recently eaten food.

40+ mom ,

Easy to use.

Much easier to use than my fitness pal from under armor.

Can scan foods easily and get macro reports.

thefartiste ,

Please add more fraction options

Very comprehensive app (even the free version!), but PLEASE make more fraction options for serving sizes. It’s very common for recipes to call for 1/3cup blah blah blah. Also, an option for more US measures (Tbs/tsp etc) These adjustments would make this app darn near perfect

808jane ,

Helps keep track of daily food intake

Great app! No need to write anything down.

Tracks everything I eat when I eat it! Love this app

mizzyu ,

Very simple to use

I love it, it’s very simple to use and Definitely helped me, how to count my calories. I recommend to my friends as well

Turboluis ,

barcode scanner missing

You can no longer use the barcode scanner to add food. The photo option is very bad at identifying what I am eating and therefore the calories and carbs can’t be accurately added. I resorted to scanning with the fitness pal app

gailnola ,

Easy

Easy to use and effective! I have learned a great deal about my eating habits and about how I can make better choices.

CaroLIsMotivated ,

FatSecret

I’ve lost 17 pounds doing intermittent fasting and FatSecret Ap in 2 months. Something about plugging in everything I do to the ap, from eating to desk work, has kept me on task and motivated.

Dogey doggy ,

Awesome!

Has everything I need and great search database! So impressed at its list of foods/brands. I almost always find what I am eating and it’s information.

Victoria's Fat Secret ,

Easy to keep up with your exercise and eating habits. Similar apps cost.

Highly recommend if you’re looking to understand how to improve

Easy to use and attractive format. Have had it for several years. No complaints. Keep up the good work!

Thorough Calorie Counter and Weight Loss Logger

The Fat Secret app seems to have a huge database of foods for calorie counting. It also displays all data entered in nice onscreen reports. An indispensable part of any weight loss seekers arsenal.

Simple yet straightforward

Best app to use to get ALL your food diary into one spot. Getting on track never gets this easy!!!

kriscarmic ,

Helpful and Easy to use

Love this app! I can keep track of everything so easy and I love the journal feature!

Camz1313 ,

Getting used to it

Okay so it has taken almost a week to get used to the app. It seems like the food entry is an endurance trial. I do appreciate that my data, from the time I tried this before, was saved. That was cool. :)

a saved seat ,

Great app

This has helped me keep track of my progress, still learning a lot from it

KKB-GH ,

Luda85 ,

Must have

Great app. Helps me a lot to keep track on my calories. I’ve been using it for 3 years. Really easy to use.

creative-circles ,

So helpful

It’s helped me lose weight with it’s articles and how easy it is to find things and the calorie intake. I would suggest.

SPN-Belmont ,

Great app except Net Carbs

Have been using the app for a month and liking it very much. Only drawback so far is that it does not track Net Carbs. That would be so useful. Maybe include it in a future update?

fitpriest ,

Partner in my pocket

Being able to monitor my eating habits is invaluable towards preventing overeating and increasing weight lost. Logging what I eat shows me my pattern, and quietly holds me accountable. What a buddy! Lol

I love it

Bdenton's Ipod ,

Easy

Very easy to use and helpful in keeping track of your progress!

Conzaga ,

Easy to use

Great app to log your weight, food, and exercise. Too bad it won’t let you edit your daily caloric goal. It automatically sets it to what the app thinks it should be.

C Thomas flood ,

Essential for weight control/loss

“Know thyself” is the first step in any diet, and Fat Secret provides such an easy, flexible way to track what you are really eating.

Caribbean cat ,

Lost 6 pounds

The calorie tracker really keeps me on track of how much I have eaten in a day and allows me to budget my calories between the various meals.

Zstasiuk ,

Dealbreaker: can’t sync weight

1. Love this app - simpler and at least as good as the 800lb gorilla: MFP.

2. Spent over an hour trying to find a way to sync my weight from a Nokia/Withings scale to FatSecret. Tried via connection with Fitbit, Healthmate, Apple Health, IFFTT. NO DICE! Manually logging only. There were some work around once, but they appear to be no longer functional.


Looking over forum posts, this seems to be a feature request for years but it hasn’t happened yet.


If you don’t need to sync your weight to FS, use FatSecret. It’s great.


Developers: if I missed the way to automatically sync weight, I will happily update this review.

nattie_miche ,

Like but.....

I really like fat secret and all it’s components, however I would like another snack section or multi meal section for those of us who have either five small meals of three meals and two snacks.

dratony ,

Fat secret app

Никнейм10010 ,

The best calorie counting app!

I tried different calorie counting apps, but I think Fatsecret is the most user friendly and pretty accurate app out there!

Poposhka ,

Good app, better than most CICO apps.

Compared to MFP, LoseIt, and other apps I like this one the best. The others charge you to see net carbs. This one lets you not only see net carbs, but is totally customizable.


It’s free but could use some polish.

xBriex ,

Great app

No nonsense like MyFitnessPal 🙄

Whether your body goals are big or small it’s the perfect app. I can also count my macros without a dumb premium subscription

The app is easy to use. I would like to see more restaurants represented from the Southeast and a broader selection from some of the existing restaurants.

Excellent app, have used it every day

The best app I have used yet, simple to use does not take a lot of time to set up and use.

Frank Mastrocola ,

FatSecret Phone App only

This ‘community’ needs to have the ability to block other members. I have already deleted other accounts to stop others from following me but it is impossible as my user name now is a form of my name and my name taken up by other users. It’s predatory and needs to be addressed immediately!!!

booksworthreading ,

Fat secret is amazing!

Love this app! It has taught me so much about nutrition and intuitive eating. I have dropped 10 pounds in 2 months and I am feeling stronger than ever 🙌🏼

Willyyyyyy00000000 ,

Thoroughly enough FatSecret. It’s a great way to log your diet and workout. There is always a lot of support and helpful hints from interested parties. Get this app and stick with your goal!

Vlad Lazarenko ,

Needs UX enhancements

It is a nice app. 4 stars because there are still some UX improvements that could be made, so leaving an opportunity for a better rating :)

Developer Response ,

Vlad - thanks for your feedback.


All of the issues you've mentioned are ones we're actively discussing internally. We're just a very small team and have to focus our efforts on specific things at a time. We'll get to the things you've request though.

LeaHick ,

Good App!

The database is robust, has a nice analysis component. I wish there was a water logging feature like there was on CalorieCount, but this app is similar. It works well as a tool for tracking your food intake.

Changing the way you eat ,

Steve9919 ,

No way to log in

I signed up for this long ago and recently tried it again. I forgot my login so requested a password reset.


The email said you had to enter a temporary password, then I put the password you wanted. I did so and was given an error message that I had to verify the email first.


I tried again and got another error saying to try later. Why do you need a three step verification process for a calorie counting app? I appreciate security but this is overkill. It’s not a banking app.


I deleted the app and will be staying with my fitness pal.

paulfloridasp ,

Great program

Easy program to track your diet and where fat

Is lost.

QI Labs ,

Just missing Watch Complications

Great app. My favorite for calorie and nutrition tracking. Only thing missing is the Apple Watch complication.

EtherImp ,

Somewhat useful...

Nice layout for daily page, simple and straightforward. For Keto dieting, lacks ability to set individual macro goals (carb, protein, fat), but it’s seems to report them. Also Has option to report net carbs, but doesn’t do it. So, all in all, somewhat useful but lacking.

Lola75_ ,

FatSecret

I don't know what I could've been without it, actually one of the best apps on my phone.

Most foods are in the system but a good chunk are not. My only complaint is that I have to enter quite a bit of my own foods vs barcode scan. Beyond that, I love this app!!

Tammie463 ,

Great app!

The go-to app

Does a great job of tracking weight and calories (macros too). Highly recommend.

net carb calculation

I wish this app calculated net carbs within the diary section, &/or had a spot in nutrients section to put in sugar alcohols so I could calculate net carbs from there as I go through the day.

ceren gamze yasar ,

language

we cannot set the language for the app. it by default chooses to be in the same language of the phone, which are usually in english. but if you are searching for food, for specific brands, it will be better to use your own language. one star for this problem.

Sorry buddy, while we choose your language based on your phone, you can set whatever region you like ;)

pepe the frog ,

Fatsecret

Pretty good app! For a not fun purpose.

Would like to for it to be easier to make a recipe and add to diary. Even a simple morning coffee recipe. Would like to be able to add a note on same screen as adding food (diary). For ex. “Hunger is a “3”.

Embarrassing name. Can it be changed???

That's what he said last night ,

Freezing and not working since Update

I have loved this app until recently. The update has it freezing all the time and not working well at all. It needs to be corrected quick or I will have to find a new app. It is frustrating trying to do anything on it!

Developer Response ,

Hi there,


We can understand the frustration... We had a problem with our internet service which has now been fixed and the app is working great.


We are very sorry and want you to know how much we care about your experience.


Please get in touch if there is anything we can do to help you.


All the best,

Lenny

Lolis{+} ,

Lola41

I can search and find everything.

dontwantanicknameever ,

old version of app was better

dont like the new version. i liked the scroll bar method of adjusting food quantities so you could see the calorie difference change instantly by scrolling up/down. there are bad bugs now with the report page not updating properly if you added food then removed food from your daily diary page. the food stays on the report sometimes.

nickname H8r ,

Malfunctions frequently

The app keeps entering my foods twice making it look like I am eating twice as much as I actually am. I update the app regularly and do not use saved meals. I hope they will fix this glitch soon. I could not find an option to contact anyone thru the app.

Corky123454321 ,

Surprised me

This app is really good. Pretty easy to use, has most foods in it, plus allows me to scan bar codes.

cluelessblues ,

Meh

Can’t opt to type in food quantities: forced to scroll through numbers, which is a pain if you’re logging using grams. Food database is lacking. Doesn’t have a robust enough integration with Apple Health.

Really the best app for tracking diet and exercise daily.


Only one little pitfall: I am following a Keto diet and it’s a pity that there is no possibility to see net carbs instead of total carbs in the graph and food lists.

BKmale55 ,

Counting calories works!

It makes you realize that eating snacks is not worth the calories

Awesome app

I've lost 35 lbs by charting my food and exercise. Only improvement would be alphabetical restaurant food list.

wlndtag ,

Easy to use the App.

It’s easy to track my food intake. No pressure to purchase different products or upgrade the App. I do home cooking with fresh foods, it’s difficult to track the calories.

Diana Higgins ,

Great App!

Great app, just be careful on some items. It has the wrong nutrition listed. But those are few and can’t complain over a free app too much.

Great app, easy to use. Has most foods that I eat. Using this app to lower my A1C, has been going very well.

Jhub-613 ,

Not worth the effort!

I downloaded this app and set it up. I tried 4 times entering a recipe and every time I click to save it, it takes me back to the group recipe page and my recipe is no where to be found so that I can find it to enter for a meal. I don’t have time for this - I’ll use my fitness pal.

Developer Response ,

Hey Jhub-613,


That sounds awful, sorry. You should be able to create a recipe and then have it available in your cookbook for future use. We apologize for the experience and if you'd like to get in touch with us we'll get you sorted.


Hope you will give us another chance and we'll try our best to help,

A much easier (and accurate) way to track calories & macros.

MrsKrishnan ,

Get MyFitnessPal or LoseIt

Horrible app. Clunky. Difficult to navigate. Can’t scan foods. Searching foods is time consuming. Can’t search for Green Giant burrito bowl & it recognize that Green Giant is the brand. It thinks you’re looking for a green burrito. 🤦‍♀️ If you want a free app to track calories then you’re much better off using MyFitnessPal or LoseIt.

Nelsonx5 ,

Great app

So far I really love this app. Very easy to use and I love keeping track of everything in one app.

I like, but could be better

I like the community and overall the idea is good.

Cons: not the easiest to navigate, takes a bit to get where I want to be

Kind of like a treasure hunt.

Crappy rater ,

Great app, but an important tool is locked

Why are custom meals locked behind a paywall? I’d like to enter my own macros for something that your database doesn’t have. So I have a massive gap in my day, due to not being able to enter the right macros of the meal. Unfortunate.

Developer Response ,

Hi, you can always add your own custom food if it’s not in the search result. You can find it at the bottom of search screen. It’s free. Thanks.

App is great to count calories, fat and carbs. I’m on keto diet and it really helps me with the carb count.

Only complaint is that I’m not fond of the measurements used. I would like to be able to use cups/oz/grams etc. interchangeably with all the foods.

Great app!

Calorie counter by FatSecret

14 days and I love it. Using the free version. If I could afford the whole program, I’d get that. Too cool, so easy.

SoboSusie ,

Frustrated

Been using app for 4 months, then it stopped syncing my Fitbit. Tried everything but it will not synch with Fitbit. Can’t track steps, helped me to stay on top of activity.

Developer Response ,

Hi,


Sometimes I've seen that if I don't open my fitbit app for awhile, it stops syncing with my tracker (and so doesn't pass data on to fatsecret). If you open your fitbit app and make sure the tracker and FB app are synced, the data should then flow through to us.


If you've done that and it's still not working, try going to the Diary screen (this can force it to collect the data at our end).


If that doesn't work, please email us: contact@fatsecret.com with your FS username and phone model number/iOS version etc and we can investigate further.

Excellent, however many errors on sodium content

Examples of sodium content errors vs actual food labels: -Hoffmans 2yr aged cheddar overstated 100% -Red Oval low sodium crackers overstated >78%

Developer Response ,

This sounds like the calendar bug that surfaced with the change from Daylight Savings. Version 8.1 has a fix for this, which we hope to start releasing next week.

All Of My Foods Disappeared

The first time I open the app after the latest update I discovered that all my foods were deleted.


Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Gone.


Anyone else have this happen? This was a five star app until today.

Developer Response ,

Hi - were these your recently Eaten/Most Eaten foods?


A bug got out that hides those foods (they're still there). It should be fixed in in 9.2.2 - if all else fails, try adding a new food to your diary and it will refresh your recently eaten foods.

Ok I guess...

As a guide and diary it is good, however I have come across many items in the diary that were wrong. So I only use as a loose guide not a strict model. For that I stick to the labels and books.

Hey Dassai,


So sorry for your experience but the good thing to know is that we HAVEN'T CHANGED ANYTHING. So whatever values you were seeing you should be able to still see ;) Please get in touch with us at contact@fatsecret.com and we will try and get you sorted.

The portions are mostly based on visual assessment like bread by slice. Or “small slice”. I couldn’t find option to select for certain amount of grams. If you are serious and not casually trying to assess calories you can’t use the app

I do not like the latest update. When I am entering a food item and tap “most recent”, I don’t want my recent lunch and dinner items to come up if I’m trying to choose a breakfast item. Makes no sense.

Prepare to get spammed

This is the first weight loss app I’ve ever tried. Within weeks, I began receiving a steady diet of unwanted messages from spammers advertising everything from “new weight loss tricks” to “skinny pills”. Not what I signed up for. Just deleted my account.

Hey CoachRandall,


Sorry to hear about that. Nothing to do with us unfortunately. No info or details of you or your account is ever shared with anyone.

Hi,


Your food (recently eaten, most eaten etc) are all stored on our servers. Version 8.02 should fix the issue and restore these foods to your app.


Please let us know if the problem persists.

1 cup white rice = 600mg sodium???

Love this app, decent design, nice searchable library. But man your amounts are so wrong! Since when does 1.5 cups plain white rice have 900 mg sodium?? This scared the hell out of me. All of my sodium levels as reported by this app are wrong. Dave’s Killer Bread has 120mg. NOT 340! This needs to be fixed....

Developer Response ,

Thanks for calling this out - there should be a function on the food information screen to flag this to our food data team to take a look at? If not, please email us: contact@fatsecret.com

Claymaster ,

First impressions... not so good

In your description it said optimized for US users.


Well, few people in the US measure their food in grams. In addition, so many foods had a predetermined serving size... like, 4oz. With a quantity of one. Why not serving in ounces any set the quantity to 4, so the user can set any real quantity that they desire.


I also saw a serving of 1 strip when referring to a chicken tender. Come on, a strip is not a unit of measure.


These are simple observations, but they frustrated me on day one.

ehaugs ,

Good app

Very convenient and easy to start and maintain

KBWellness ,

Don’t waste your money.

It’s not intuitive. No live support or FAQs. Can’t set macros. Limited nutrition tracking even with premier plan. Very difficult to add a food. And can’t add a recipe. You can’t just add something and list net carbs. Too much work.

Great app but NOT for Keto

This app is easy and does a great job. And no adverts!

I'd like to suggest an improvement to the developers:


Calculate/track NET carbs, sugar alcohols and Fiber, too. Some of us track these and your app doesn't display these as a daily total.


Very impressed but need a different app fir KETO.

This one is actually not far away. Our lead iOS dev has done the app work, we've just waiting on the backend parts to make it complete and then we can push. It'll either be in the last release we do this year, or the first one next year.

I used it to lose 25 lbs several years ago via calorie cycling, and chose it because a calorie cycling friend was using it, it had lots of good features, and it was FREE. However, once the weight was lost, I stopped tracking the calories I consumed, my weight eventually rebounded, and I added some more weight, as well. Because studies show that people who maintain long term weight loss track calories, exercise regularly, and eat a low fat diet, I have returned to Fat Secret as a tool to help me once again lose the weight, and this time maintain it by tracking my calorie intake. My goal is to lower my set weight progressively this time and maintain it. I have already seen good early results after less than 2 weeks.


I, personally, find the calorie log to be more useful than the exercise log, and rarely use that feature. A lot of my exercise is accomplished through a physically demanding job and gardening, which are less easy to track than a sport or exercise regimen. The calorie log, though, is very user friendly. It’s easy to look up foods quickly, and to scan bar codes. A newer feature I haven’t played with yet allows users to photograph their plates and the app tries to recognize the foods eaten for quicker logging. However, I’m able to look up six to eight items and adjust their quantities in less than 2 minutes, so it’s fast to log them through the standard method, which I appreciate.


A lesser known feature (that’s a little harder to find in the menu) for us home cooks is the ability to build recipes, let Fat Secret calculate the calories per serving based on ingredient amounts, and keep it in a personal “cookbook” to log calories on frequently made meals. As someone who cooks frequently for my large family, I LOVE that feature.


Fat Secret also has a vast recipe book for those wanting to try new recipes according to their diets/eating plans that users can contribute to. I have tried several recipes from that, and enjoyed them. I like that it gives you several ways to search recipe types, including by calorie content and by diet type.


Tracking my weight gain/loss is quickly and easily accomplished. Users can set up periodic weigh-in reminders. Then, graphs help users visualize their short term and long term progress.


I do not currently use the social aspects of the app to keep me motivated (my outgrown clothes are enough!), but did use them some in the past when I had several friends in a small local support group. It’s nice to be able to see what each other is doing to keep each other accountable and celebrate each other’s progress, especially when some in the group struggle.


Though I have not tried other calorie counting apps, I have always been satisfied with Fat Secret’s free, user friendly interface, and have never felt the need to try similar apps, though I have heard of several others that sound excellent as well. I recommend it to others as a useful weight loss tool that’s worthy of a try to see if it helps them achieve their weight loss goals as well.

Tried other but came back to FS

This is by far the best app for calorie/macro tracking that I have seen. Luckily for me, it’s the first one I’ve used. At one point I decided to try a few others. I won’t go into details about why I didn’t like them. The point is, none compared to FatSecret. Here is why FatSecret is awesome:

1. Great, simple layout that’s easy to use. Amazing database, and if you cannot find something, you can enter in all the data and save it.

2. Great and supportive, drama-free community regardless of the type of diet you’re on.

3. Free with no ads!

4. Great even without Premium membership. There’s an option to buy Premium, but unlike other apps, you’re not pushed to buy it. I do just fine without it, but might consider it in the future.


Is it perfect? No, but as close to perfect as I’ve seen from similar apps. Sure, some glitches happen, but they don’t happen that often, and they get fixed with updates.


A couple fixes I am hoping to see:

1. The option to set reports to “Today” instead of having “Weekly” there every time the page gets refreshed.

2. A fix in creating recipes and entering in products. When you enter the serving size, later that is the only set number you can use. There’s no option to change it to grams and pick a certain number. So if I’ve set a serving size in my own meal or new product to be 30g, later when I log in my food and have only eaten 20g, I cannot enter that in since it only gives me the 30g option.

If these gets fixed, it would just be another step to perfection in this already great app.

Three month review

Ten years ago I lost 28 pounds on Weight Watchers. 20 years ago I lost 35 pounds on The Zone. It cost a lot of money or was a lot of work. It helped but wasn’t fully empowering me.


This time I changed my life style, moved to a healthier climate, started to exercise, started to eat and cook right and healthier and decided to empower my self the whole way. I decided to go on a 1500 calorie a day diet. I found this app FatSecret and it was easy as pie (a low calorie vegetable pie 😀).


Kidding aside, I love entering food choices on the app of what I plan to eat or buy before, I do it, so I educate myself. I learn how many calories and I decide to grill a delicious piece of tuna with garlic and black bean sauce on it with a bunch of asparagus and a spray of zero calorie butter, or give in to a fatty piece of meat and mash potatoes. For me the choice was easy. Instead of dessert I grill berries in aluminum foil on the grill and drizzle honey and cinnamon and add a vanilla yogurt or oats to it. It is delicious and low calorie. That is just dinner. I eat three to four times a day and I am full always.


Turns out FatSecret says for my height, weight and age I could eat 2225 calories a day and still lose a pound a week. But I can eat 1500 and lose two pounds a week.


The app tells you the balance you are eating of protein, carbs and fat and had many tips when you need them or ask.


Well it started working great. I set a goal of 30 pounds. So far, in under 12 weeks, (and I have been able to cheat here and there a little) but I have always stayed at or under 1500 cal a day, sometimes went to 1600 or 1800, but rarely if ever, I eat at home or eat out — and I have already lost 16.5 pounds.


I am a 64 year old man with a busy career, raising a child and to boot, I have had some stresses that I don’t need to mention here (from work stress to family stress to personal health issues) that motivated me more to prove to myself that I was in control of me throughout it all.


This may seem counterintuitive, many would give up saying “it’s too hard to do” but it isn’t. It is YOU with YOU. No external forces telling you what to do. You and your app.


I knew that if I held to my diet with modest exercise and continual improvement in finding foods that I could eat enough and lose weight, and start to see the changes each day, that I would feel better about me. And well, I did and I have.


And I’m single. And when the second chin took its leave of absence, and when I wore a tee shirt and the belly started to disappear, I started to look good. And truth is, people notice when you feel good and look good. It is all in how you carry yourself daily and through life. And you one day, all if a sudden notice that you attract people and energy. And you give more to yourself and others in thought, word and deed.


Now for a cliche. They are almost always right. Some poeple my age may remember Ewell Gibbons the nutritionist who said “you are what you eat.” He was right. You create your life, so get to it. All aspects of it. What you eat, what you feel, what you say, what you think and what you look like. So eat what is right and what YOU want to feel like and look like. Say what you want to be like. Think the positive thoughts for who you want YOU and the world to be. Even dress how you want to feel. You have the power.


My newest role model is the late Stephen Hawkins. A genius not only for his great mind and theories of the universe and about life and how we live it, but because of how he chose to LIVE.


This disabled quadraplegic man who had to blow through a straw in a wheelchair to move, to type, to speak and communicate through a computer, challenged himself and achieved great things because he dared to do it and he wanted to live and lived by many measures a very full life and affected millions of us because of his singular life. If he can do all he did, we can lose a few pounds and achieve our life goals. And I mean simple life goals. I don’t mean fame and fortune. I mean simple daily things that make us happy. I mean good health. Ask yourself this question, “how many hours a day do I do things and say things that make me happy at home and at work and with myself, and how many hours a day am I less than happy, maybe surrounded by thoughts or people who aren’t a part of “happy and healthy” at work or at home, with family and with colleagues and friends?” Well, if that answer has any negative hours that you live, do your best to have an ideal of 24/7 happy and healthy and 0/0 unhappy and healthy. I moved 3,000 miles to change my life at 63 and be happier and healthier. Scary? A little, but I did it and doors opened. When you take control, it becomes your life. I have had four good careers in my life and it wasn’t easy to change. When things go awry, change it or move on and make it better and know there is a better plan for you.


So when I face hardship financially, health issues with me and my family (and I don’t mean easy ones (loved ones facing mental health issues or addiction and me facing a little but of cancer), I look to my diet, I eat better, I ride a bike, I swim in the ocean, I even ride the new scooter craze The Bird and I make sure I dare to be one tenth as brave as Stephen Hawkins who couldn’t do what I have within me to do, but he used what he had the power to do and achieved more than most of us in life. Do dare to do it.


You can see I am passionate about change at any age, about life and how we see it and seek out better health and happiness. And through it all I am happy. And I am healthy, incredibly healthy.


Get you FatSecret and get started one calorie at a time.


I have shared the FatSecret app with many people because it is free and easy. There are more things in life that are free and easy than we know in this digital age. Find them.


All the best in your efforts to be the healthier and happier you. I have found it. You can too.

rapOet ,

easy in, remembers, almost perfect

First of all I’ve tried several different apps and this is my favorite. I’ve been using it a few years now and whenever I see other food trackers, I’m not impressed


1. It’s easy - to input food (the easiest is to select recently eaten, 2nd easiest method is the barcode scanner (when you select, it will automatically help you focus and even flash if too dark), and third is to search either food tyoe or brand of item), but if your barcode or search doesnt match, it let’s you add a new food to the database.


2. It remembers - food you’ve recently eaten, food other users have eaten (love the crowd sourcing advantage), and barcodes so you don’t have to type.


I say its ALMOST perfect, because although there’s a save meal option (which gives a name to a group of foods you may commonly eat), and a recently eaten option (which lists about 20 of your most recently eaten foods), there’s something lacking....


* The list of recently eaten foods is too short... sometimes an item I ate just 1 or 2 days ago isn’t there (which means I need to search or scan it again). I suggest a “recent days” and “recent weeks” option, so... ALL items from the last day are listed and ALL from last week, in chronological order from most to least recent 😎


* instead saving groups of food as “meals” I would rather have a “copy yesterday” and “copy [week]day” (Mon, Tue) item... because it’s very common for people to have a lot of what they had the day before or repeat on certain days of the week. I’m not saying you should delete “save meals”, but I bet “copy [day]” would be used A LOT more than a specific meal... Partially cause someone may eat a similar diet for weeks but get different brands from werk to week. Save meal requires we open the meal and change an item, or save a whole new meal. But copy meal would let us just replace that item on the main screen and then be stored for the rest of the week


3. It journals - you can see (and export) calories from last week or a few months ago. This is so awesome for coaching, accountability, clarity, and so many other reasons. Plus it remains editable, so you can always go back & correct anything that was missing or a placeholder.


* The journal is almost perfect because it lacks the weight on the same page. There is a weight journal but on a SEPARATE page. For those who modify their diet based on weight... or like to see how weight correlates to diet for their unique body (for example some of us are trying to determine A. “maintenance” calories, B. calories for gain/bulk, C. colories for cutting/losing)... it would be helpful to see (and enter) the weight right there with the calories and grams of nutrition. AND to see the weight right next to calories in the monthly journal view too.


4. It tracks weight - as mentioned above it does track weight. And I love that it lets you input a weight GOAL, so you see if you’re approaching or receding from the goal, and how long it’s taking. The sloping graph view is cool too, since you can appreciate where you’re trending over several days instead of just the day to day fluctuations.


* As mentioned above I would like to see the weight on same page as the nutrition to see correlations.


5. Exercise and community - I know there are features to connect with other users and track exercise as well (even exchange recipes or diet challenges), but I’ve barely used these.


* I need to check again before I can honestly critique, but... if I recall the method of inputting exercises was limited. I reber being startled because the method of inputting & formatting food items is so brilliant! I couldn’t believe that the method of tracking exercises wasnt the same (pick an exercise from search list, or recently done list, and if its not there put it in). Just like the food shows calories and macros for each food, then automatically sums all calories and macros at the top... the exercises could show sets, reps, weight, seconds/mins for each exercise and the sum of all sets, reps, and time spent at tge top. Tracking the exercise the same as the food would truly make this a “Fat Secret” instead of a “Food Secret with some exercise” 🤣


* Connecting, messaging, posting/replying to other users (and even coaches) with similar goals, body types, diets, etc. I think could also be added/improved a lot... even if its not stored in the app to save memory, but has a screen that links to these features on a website outside the app.


This is my favorite food tracking app, but for now I use other apps for exercise tracking - keep growing - THANK YOU!

Great app idea but why would you call it fat secret...

Developer Response ,

Thanks retsifplehcar,


Appreciate the feedback. We understand your comments but the name comes from ‘a big fat secret’ in that there’s a hidden and yet obvious way (to lose weight/eat healthier) which is to track your food and do it with the a community of people living a shared experience.


That's what we stand for. Unlocking the secret so that people can eat better and live healthier.


All the best,

OFisherJr ,

A bit frustrating...

I don’t know the source of the foods found in the Search but I’d prefer the App data used for the Search to be empty and only populated by the respective User account if FatSecret isn’t going to manage the data-table. Often nutritional information for specific foods is incorrect or not quantifiable e.g., such as a serving being specified as 1 slice or 1 portion. What does that mean? How big a slice what is the weight or volume of the slice or portion? Totally meaningless. Often I’ve had to go onto the internet to find Calorie (kcal) information that I can hope is similar if not exact and use it. How about 1 cup of popcorn? When you make popcorn a specific weight of kernels are popped and this is what the serving size should be based on as it is readily quantified as opposed to 1 cup!


If the User adds a New Food and makes a spelling mistake and doesn’t catch it before saving, they cannot go back and fix it, nor can they delete the entry and start over.

Only option is to recreate and save having duplicate entries in the Search database. This is absurd, the App should at least allow the original poster editing capability for their entries.


There is no unit of measurement converter included. Serving sizes consumed are limited to integers and/or 1/4, 1/2, & 3/4 fractions as opposed to being able to enter an exact quantity and the App doing the computation.


The UI is not intuitive and requires trial and error to navigate.


When you create an Exercise and enter the duration and Calories burned a dynamic link between the duration and Calories is not created. As an example, I create an Exercise entry for roller skating and use 683 kcal for a duration of 1 hour and save the exercise to that day’s exercise. If I then change duration to 3 hrs instead of the kcal burned changing to 2,049, the value stays at 683 kcal! Meaning each time I have to create a specific entry for the same activity.


I’m not totally pleased with this App even though I paid for an Annual Membership which can be cancelled anytime with at least 24 hrs notification. I’ll continue to investigate other better designed App to replace this one.

Work around for date problem

Here's a temporary work around for the date being behind a day. When in the food or exercise diary page where the wrong date appears, to get the correct one, select the "..." menu item at the top right. Then select "Change Date", and next select "Tomorrow", not "Today", which is already selected; you can also select the date for tomorrow on the date wheel below. By selecting the next day, when you press "Done", you'll return to the diary with the correct date now showing.

I contacted the company about this problem, like many others must have done already, and they replied immediately saying that the fix is in the works, and they're waiting for Apple to approve the change, which should be soon.

I've tried other food tracking programs, but this one is top-notch --- much better than even those they charge for.

Useful and simple

I was looking for a calorie tracker that would record whatever I put into it, but this app does so much more. Not only does it do that, it also comes with a database to help me find caloric information on a wide variety of foods, plus it tracks activities (even resting!) and calorie burn. It's simple and I really like it. I haven't used the barcode scanner yet but so far I haven't had any problems. I also like the fact that I don't have to sign up for anything, it's an independent and free app. I think you can sign up for an account to get more weight-loss help, which is a nice option, but I don't like apps that force you to sign up for stuff. Also, as for the complaints about losing the Weight Watchers point counter, I don't know for sure, but Weight Watchers has its own app so maybe they complained because they didn't want another app using its trademarked info? Just a thought. I wouldn't hold it against Calorie Counter though.

Weight Loss Partner

I'm trying to lose weight and needed some accountability, and Fat Secret is my way of doing that. I track EVERY single thing I eat and am able to see exactly what I'm consuming. I can have a bad day and see what I need to do to have a better day.

This app is so easy to use, and makes it so easy to see everything you are getting from your food. You can scan bar codes, or search from brands, restaurants, or types of foods. It is easy to add new foods as well. And, for all the features, I never have glitch issues.

I love the weigh in feature as well, it is so motivational to see your results. There are several features I haven't even used yet, but as I get more used to everything, I plan on using it to its full extent.

This is a great free app, I haven't seen any in app purchase offers, so that is nice.

If you are wanting to keep a food or weight diary, I highly recommend this one.

Lots of good features. Good lists on Restaurant items which is handy, but the one food item I need from Cheesecake Factory is the Lemoncello Cream Torte, and of course, it isn't in the list! I tried adding it to my list, but haven't figured out how to add a food item without having to enter all the nutrition info, so I couldn't get it to accept it. I only know the calories on some items, but it won't let me add the item to my list unless I add fat, carbs proteins, etc, which I don't know and haven't been able to come up with in a search. I tried to guesstimate, and of course, it wouldn't accept that either. Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't use this program unless some things are simplified. It also needs smaller units of measure, such as 1/8 of a serving. Smallest I've seen is 1/4 of a serving. Anyway, I would love to use this because the the good features, but won't because of the issues mentioned.

Can't believe it's free!

I was thinking of paying for the Weight Watchers online program when I saw a recommendation for this app, and thought I'd try it first since it's free. I've been using it for five days and so far I LOVE it. I especially like that it counts resting calories in addition to exercise, and the diet calendar keeps a running total of what you've eaten and what you've burned. Everything I've eaten has been in the database, and I've had no problems with crashes when using the scanner.


The only thing I wish it would do is tell me what I should expect to lose in a week or month with my current calorie deficit, but I can figure that out with a calculator.


I've done the WW points before and this is SO much easier and less complicated. Overall I'm very happy and simply can't believe this app was free.

kellyami ,

Amazing!

This app is so easy to use and yet it's got so much to it! I've only been using this app for 3 days and absolutely love it. You can scan barcodes of the foods you eat, adjust the serving amount, and take pictures of it too. It shows you a line graph of the progress you have made, as well as a recommended daily intake (rdi) of calories per day based off of BMI (not accurate but it gives you a starting point). If you don't have a barcode to scan then you can get a general idea of calories by searching "Bacon" which brings up different ways bacon can be cooked and treated with a general idea on serving and calorie sizes.


Then you have an exercise diary which keeps track of your exercise and compares it to your calorie intake. On another page, you can see by day, days averaged, and monthly weight loss/gain or whatever you chose you are using the app for.


It also includes SEVERAL restaurants and menu items to choose from for calorie information. I've lost 2lbs in 3 days already because I never noticed how quickly the calories added up!


The only suggestion I have is to add more recipes and have a better way to organize and/or filter the searches. Other than that, it's a great app.

Uselessdetails ,

So-so

The UI for this app leaves a bit to be desired. Often several dozen or more clicks to enter a single food item eaten. They insist on painting food pictures on every screen which isn't what I need when I'm counting calories nor on a slow network connection.


The food database is alright except that it's exclusively online, so you can't use the app when you're not connected to some network. Portions and food descriptions are often illegible even on iPad as the descriptions flow out of the available screen real estate. Portions are often limited in awkward ways like the only available fractions are quarters, no decimal entry, (awkward when using a digital scale).


The exercise database is minimal, but sufficient for rough estimates. The UI here is clumsy but usable.


There's no entry for your own resting calorie usage so all calorie usage estimates are crude and clearly off by as much as 30 - 40% in my case.


And there are no reports to speak of. No graphical reports of calories consumed, no pie charts for macronutrient breakdowns, no average consumptions, none of the things you'd expect from an app like this.


There's a bunch of social networking on the web site, but the web site doesn't have any better UI nor does it have any more management.


On the plus side, it does sync with the web site so all your iOS devices stay in sync and you can access it from the web. (No mac app, though.)

WTH is wrong with the dates?!!?

I like this app a lot but a few issues: Wth is wrong with the dates?!!?? I click the drop box and click October 1, but then at the top, it says "tomorrow". No, Oct. 1st is today. Since update, the dates are off by one for every day in every year and idk why. I clicked Sept 8 in the drop box but the top border shows Sept 7th. So idk if I should go by the drop box or the actual date and today just fill in on "tomorrow's" food intake. Really annoying!!! Also, there are A LOT of errors in the calorie and serving sizes in the database. For example these cookies I ate were 2 cookies for 160 calories. However, the app showed 3 cookies for 160 calories. I've come across items that were just completely different calorie number so then I hve to say I ate 1 1/4 serving, even though I only ate 1, just to get to correct calorie amount. . Wish there was an easy way to send a note to company to make corrections.

4.5 stars

I love this app. Been using it for a few years, and it has helped me tremendously with keeping track of what I eat. I have a few nitpicks, though, which is why I'm not giving the full 5 stars. 1) The columns. I want to choose which 5 items to see at the top. I can only choose three, since you've made calories and RDI permanent. I don't need those since I can see both on the opening screen. Let me choose all 5 items myself to truly customize my usage! 2) The cookbook. I LOVE this element, and use it every day, for my smoothies and homemade meal recipes. I can even guesstimate for restaurant meals when needed. BUT I would like a way to access it independently, without having to add a meal item or hit the search bar. This creates added steps I don't need if I just want to create or edit recipes. Just a direct link to the cookbook would be great! 3)...hmmm, I don't think there is a 3 for now! Keep up the great work, guys!

Longtime user, best app out there.

I've been a member of Fat Secret since 2011. When the smartphone app became available, I jumped right onboard. The database is so large I can't think of a single time that I wasn't able to find a food I'd eaten. I've tried My Fitness Pal but it's too cluttered and not as user-friendly as Fat Secret. I'm also a member of Weight Watchers Online, and I log daily in both apps. What's nice about FS is that I can track my weight daily whereas I have to wait an entire week to log my WW weight. There's something about having that daily commitment that really keeps me on point. I'm also a fan of the fat-carb-protein breakdown that you can see on the desktop site, so I wish they could bring that to the app. Since you can still see your total grams of each macro at the top of your food log, you can do the math in your head, but that pie chart is hot. ☺️

Scartissuearmor ,

Less clunky than MFP, counts NET carbs

Was using My Fitness Pal for years but every update made it more difficult to use for me, to the point that I stopped tracking. Got recommended this app by the LCHF/Keto diet community because it tracks net carbs at a glance. The app is attractive and easy to use.


One complaint, when I'm trying to create a recipe from barcode scanner ingredients the app seems to forget I'm trying to build a recipe and just tacks the items onto my breakfast log.


One request: this app allows me to track macronutrients easily but I'd love to see micronutrient information somewhere, prob not "at a glance" but I'd like to see if I'm meeting my goals on average. It would really take your app to another level to allow a single app to track food, weight, exercise AND larger health goals like correcting vitamin and electrolyte deficiency through food.

KP8** ,

Loyal fan

I used fat secret before it was a mobile app. I would log on from my computer. It has been helpful in my efforts to lose weight and get in shape (multiple times!). The calorie counter has pretty much all the foods I eat and there is a good listing of exercises. I use it on my Apple Watch as well. I do miss the communities-the social network piece that used to be on the computer version-maybe it still is there-I just don't access it from my computer. I would like to see this enhancement in the future: the option to enter all your food in the morning and then check it off throughout the day. I do enter everything in the morning now, but then the watch tells me I have 0 calories. Just a little thing, but would be nice. Oh and a water counter-so I can make sure I get 8 glasses a day

Pat9R ,

A great replacement for MyFitnessPal

I really like this app. It's a lot like MyFitnessPal was before it was stuffed full of ads and scamware. I only have two complaints. Quantities are broken down into quarters with no way to enter a number. You can't enter 1/3 cup something, only 1/4 or 1/2. To enter more specific quantities grams are used, which is not always convenient. The other more frustrating issue is foods are assigned a meal type and stick to that meal type when adding meals. If I eat something for dinner today the items will show up tomorrow in "recently eaten" but only when adding dinner. If I eat the leftovers for lunch I have to add all the items again from scratch under lunch. It's enough of a pain that I've started adding all meals under 'snacks' so it's easier, which is a shame because the breakdown chart is handy to check if you're spreading calories out evenly.

erkitten4 ,

I love this app!!!

Before this app, I had to use 2 different apps to reach my goals. I have been a Diet and Exercise Asst users for years on various OS systems, and I use iWatcher for points. I love both of those apps, but this app does the function of both of those. Now they add a barcode scanner, and I get to delete yet another app from my phone. This app very rarely crashes, is easy to use, and does everything. STRONG WORK GUY!!! Keep it up.


Update: Since my last review, an update was sent and I have found that if you do not let the advertisements load, the app crashes. This wouldn't be a problem if it didn't take so long to load ads. I love this app please fix. ;(


Update: I am soooo sad. This new update has taken away the ability to track points. That is the whole reason I switched to this app. I will be going back to calorie counter due to the better graphs and histories. So so so sad!!! :(

KayInNC ,

Great App - One Request

This is a great app for tracking food intake and exercise. The barcode scanner doesn't work on my iPod (4th), no big deal, I figure it was designed to work on the iPhone, so I use the keypad entry for UPC. One Request - It would be REALLY nice if I could access my history of food and exercise within the app on my iPod without requiring an internet connection. There are times when I want to check on what I've eaten previously, but can't because I'm not connected (which happens a lot in a rural area or on the road). An embedded notepad in the app would also come in handy for jotting down food and exercise when there's no internet connection. I even looked for a paid version of this app that might have these features.

Lopezt7 ,

I'd be lost without this app!

This app is probably the only reason why I'm actually losing weight and keeping it off. I've broken my diet several times for the past 5 yrs (caused by lack of motivation) but this app makes it almost effortless to shed those pounds. It allows you to keep track of your workouts and calorie intake according to your height, weight and age.


Anyone can go on a diet but very few will continue and successfully achieve their goal. For those who are weak (like myself) and lose motivation, this is the perfect app for you.


I agree with CECECO's review. It won't allow you to track 6 meals - only 3 but it's no big deal. You can always "add a meal" in one of the three rows. The key is to know your daily calorie intake. Excellent app for what it cost: NOTHING.

asteriskadonis ,

Flexible, customizable, better than similar apps

I tried several calorie counting apps and this one worked the best for me. You don't have to sign up for a website, but you can if you want too, which is a nice touch. This app has had all the different kinds of food items I have searched for so far, and you can select between various portion options (weight, volume, unit, etc.) which is convenient; other apps I tried only had cups of one food item, grams of another, etc. which is a pain. You can also edit your target daily calorie level or just accept the one the app recommends to you based on your profile, activity level, and weight loss goals. Simple and sweet! Try this app first and save yourself some time.

SK150 ,

Skinnylinny155

I really love this app! I can look up restaurants, all foods, name brands, & store brands. It has a great list of exercises with the intensity of calories burned. It also has a scanner so if I don't find the food listed, I can just scan the barcode to receive the caloric value. It also has an option for dividing the amount of a food. It keeps a daily updated count of calories consumed. The only thing I don't like is that when you enter your weight, it doesn't readjust and it doesn't show up on the graph. I would like to see that changed.

Another thing I would like to see changed is a way to manually record calorie consumption. I have several recipes that have the nutritional info listed~ so I have to find something as close to it as I can. So far that's the only down side of this app.

FreedomLover ,

Update messed up some things

So this WAS my favorite weight loss app, and I was looking forward to it having an update. Of course something is always changed that ruins things. A minor lame change is the new look/design. But now, irritatingly, when you input an activity, the "remainder" of time in the 24 hrs defaults to adding TO either sleep or rest!! Ridiculous. So I have to keep trying to balance the activities back & forth so I don't end up with 9 hours of sleep or 7 hours of rest etc. What the heck?? Why not just be able to input the totals of each activity, sleep and rest included. Before the update you could choose what activity you wanted to add/subtract time from. It just doesn't seem as simple to use as before. Have started to look at other apps and I had hoped to not have to do that.

miriamsnow ,

It works if you work it

A great calorie counting app. If you've counted calories (or fat grams, or any other food stat) manually, you'll love the ease of doing it digitally. FatSecret makes it really easy - tons of foods (including brand names) to chose from, adjustable portions, etc. If you can't find the food you're looking for, just google the food and fatsecret - there's often an entry from another country that will suit you. (I live outside my country of origin and this is a helpful feature for me). You can also save entire meals and recipes so you don't have to re-enter entire groups of specialized foods. You can also enter exercise. This is a great app to help you stay conscious of what you eat, which is a necessary first step to changing your eating patterns.

Fitworks ,

Awesome!!!!

This app is just full of awesomeness and what's not there, you can add!!!! I use it everyday. Highly recommended!!! I Guarantee you will love it!!!!!


UPDATE: As of March 28, the app WILL NOT calculate RDI. Please fix!!!!!


SERIOUSLY!!! You wiped out all the food choices I had stored before the update!!!!😩😡

Update: As of June 21, the app is working great. Please don't wipe out my stored info when you update the app in the future. This is THE best app EVER !!!!


Update: August 31, 2016

STOP messing with perfection !!! Why did you get rid the product barcode scanner ?!!! All I had to do was scan a product and all the info popped up !!! Please bring the scanner back !!!! Taking a picture of the product does not help. No one has time to enter all that info. BRING THE SCANNER BACK AND STOP CHANGING STUFF THAT IS ALREADY PERFECT !! 😡😡😫😫😩😩😝😝😤😤😤😤😡😡😡😡😣😣😡😤

Update: September 9, 2016: OK, OK I'll admit I was wrong. I apologize. The camera is not so bad after all. I thought I had to input the info after taking a picture of the food. I was wrong; info about the product comes up when you take the picture. Thanks Fat Secret. We're back to PERFECTION!!!!!👍👍😜

Moy Wah Fei ,

Excellent!!!

I've tried many other apps but none seemed right for me. By chance I ran across this app. This is perfect. The food data base is ideal not only providing commercial product information (which I rarely need as I try to avoid fast foods and processed foods), but also has generic information as well. The photo diet feature is unique in that you simply take a photo of your food and the tech team will analyze it for you providing you nutritional feedback to use. That is amazing!

The exercise calculator seems accurate too, although I use my Apple Watch for that. Of note, it's comparable with Apple's Health app and integrates with the Apple Watch as well. It's totally free, no strings attached! Unbelievable!!!

Macro percentages are calculating incorrectly

First, I have to say that I love this app and it helped me lose 65 pounds. But I have recently started tracking macros and there is a bug in the reporting that is figuring the macro percentages incorrectly. Protein and Fat values appear to be switched. This is so frustrating! I am still able to figure them by grams, which is more accurate anyway, but the percentages give a fantastic visual snapshot of where I am. Also, I would really like this app to go back to defaulting to the food diary page. I have absolutely zero interest in seeing what other people are eating. And finally, I'd love to see the macros, nutrients and calorie reports default to today. Again, I'm not as interested in my weekly values. They are nice to see, but I need the information for "today" all day. Otherwise, great app. You get 5 stars when all of this is addressed!

aDuffBrew ,

No one app is perfect.

I've tried several apps in this category. Some are better at customizing portion sizes, exercise routines, or have a more extensive restaurant database. FatSecret's entry isn't the best in any category nor does it have the "prettiest" interface. That said, it certainly ranks well in every categories and when taken together, I feel it offers the best all-in-one solution.


This program isn't 100% accurate but none of them are. This entire genre of app is best suited for raising awareness... something this app does extremely well. Used as part of a collection of tools for better health, it's definitely worth the time and effort! I've passed on higher rated apps and settled on this one.

Cececo ,

Awesome!

If it wasn't free, I'd give it four stars because it's only lacking in ONE thing; just ONE!


1. As a believer in eating 5-6 meals every 2-3 hours, I wish the app could be setup to choose: a. Do you eat three square meals a day called B, L, D, plus a snack; or, b. Do you want to label meals Meal 1, Meal 2, and so on. Or, at least allow me to add another meal category or second Snack category. As it is now, I'm cramming 2 meals under snacks even though they were eaten at different times in the day.


Honestly, if the app had cost money, I wouldn't have tried it only because I'm wary; you never get a refund when you hate it. But, it's worthy of being a paid for app. You won't regret it! I love this app and have recommended it to all my health- and goal-oriented friends.


Oh, and be sure to set up the sync. I just realized this and see that there is an online companion with tons of additional content and options. Haven't had a chance to browse the site yet, but DH did. He says there is an option to follow Bill Phillips Body For Life meal plans. Love this!

ChelMarStew ,

Good App with a few design flaws

To echo other reviewers, it's amazing that this app is free! I have been using it since last February 2011 and have been very pleased. The weight tracker is my favorite part, but it is definitely glitchy. If you put in a note with your weight, it kind of floats around on the screen into the wrong place instead of staying under the date you wrote it. (This has never been improved. 8/1/12)


The scanner is also glitchy. I can usually get one scan then when I try another, it force closes. (Again, never been improved. 8/1/12)


All in all, this is my favorite free app and I use it many times daily. Unfortunately, I might begin searching for another app because surely there is one without these flaws available.

Yr mom__ ,

Needs decimal entry for food quantities

I stopped using this app for almost two years after my daughter was born. I come back and it is exactly same.


Enough with the dials. I weigh my food and want to enter my food in grams or at least decimals. It's important. I track everything. Seems obsessive but that's how you get an accurate calorie count. The fact that I can only enter foods in quarter-serving increments is silly. I just tried My Fitness Pal and, lo and behold, you can enter small fractions, 1/3 increments and decimals! Wow. In 2013, this is possible.


Enough with only being able to "increase" or "reduce" exercise. I want to delete something without going through six steps.


Finally, the iPad app is hideous and have even less functionality than the phone app. It's difficult to enter a journal entry (no paragraph breaks?) and when I went back into add a historical weight entry it completely jacked up my weight history chart withies now zig zagging all over the place.


I'd rather pay a little for a functioning app than use something that is never updated. I use the website and hate to leave it, I have lots of recipes and custom meals. But please update this thing in a meaningful way! The website is full of ads so there is some income stream.

CobraJackson ,

Valuable Tool

I've been using this app for seven months. If you are wondering where the faults are in your diet this will show you. I have lost thirty-five pounds this year, it's not a prison sentence, there are plenty of days when I reach the end of the day and there are still enough calories left for a small junk food cheat. If you are honest with it, the app will tell you the truth. Not always pleasant after a 1300 calorie All Star Breakfast at three in the morning and you discover you are at 192% of your daily food budget. That is to say, it is a guide, a metric to measure, it doesn't do the work for you but it will give you a fighting chance

SunnysideupFL ,

OK but no app support within the app

Did not really use. I could not find the wine – if I have a glass of wine I have to be able to include those calories. The app does not include anything relating to portions. One should be able to go to pizza and add more than one slice – without exiting and having to go back in and repeating. I like to use apps that have built in apps support and a place to provide feedback within the app. To me that is a reflection that the App developer cares about what the users think and also cares about improving the app. This is not the case with this app. There is nothing with in the app for support or feedback. I do not want to have to go back into the App Store search for the app search for the developer search for a place to provide feedback, etc. if they don't care enough or should I go through the trouble. Hence i am deleting the app.

Klwright1122 ,

Wanna love it

I am struggling to find an app that allows me to track/display macros and add food/recipes/nutrition info easily.

Would like to see a "my food" list that I create with things I eat frequently. The "recently used" list seems to drop items off at some point. There are items I logged last night that aren't on the recently used list?

I tried to add a recipe and it requires me to search your database for the ingredients rather than just typing them in myself. Your database doesn't match my ingredients, measurements, etc. It required me to convert many ingredients. I could NOT enter macro nutrients, rather the app calculated it all based on my ingredients input. Once it was saved, the macronutrients was VERY different compared to the recipe published.

Can we pls have the ability to add our own foods info w macro info and save them to our own food diary list?

Having a cook book option where we could type all the info in, including the macro info would be awesome.

I would like to have the ability to make a generic entry for a meal--(i.e. chicken Marsala) and enter all the macro nutrient info, number of servings, to my daily food diary--but not necessarily enter the entire recipe. (I may not want to ever make it again).

lolo1977 ,

Great except for one thing...

I love this app. It is easy to use and it has really helped me track my intake overall. My only complaint is that I cook using Cooking Light and/or HelloFresh. These recipes include all the nutritional information, but this app does not allow for me to easily add these recipes. I have to create a recipe, which takes forever adding each individual food item. This would be fine if I used that one recipe over and over, but I don't often do that when I cook with HelloFresh. I would love an option where I could add my own item and the nutritional info. For now, I just search for a recipe with a similar calorie count. It's not totally accurate, but it does the job.

Captain1328 ,

Exactly what I was looking for!

All I was looking for was a simple app for keeping track of calories and luckily I found this one. So simple to use and the perfect amount of features to keep from being overwhelmed.

My wife and I both use it and for the first time ever (with many attempts) we are keeping almost perfect track of our calorie intake, calorie deficits, and weight loss.

Very rarely is there ever a food that isn't listed when you search or scan a barcode, and if you come across a food that's not listed when you scan the barcode, information entry is super easy and it is permanently saved for the next time you have to enter it.

If I had to mention one negative it would be that the calorie burn listings on some exercises seem to be off. (Some of the food entries may be a little wonky as well - 6 oz. of banana listing twice the calories of a full banana, for instance) but I always have the internet to verify through multiple sources to adjust my entry if need be.

And that is a rarity as well.


In conclusion, this app is perfect for us and exactly what we were looking for!

So good is targeted by greedy patent trolls

I read recently that a notorious patent troll saw this company was very successful and so tried to blackmail them into paying for a patent so trivial it was just a joke. Thankfully the courts are getting better at punishing such ahole companies (patent trolls) and making them pay instead. All because this app is TOTALLY AWESOME!! I've tried many "diet tracking" apps and this really is the best. Not only because of the well design, but also because of the most comprehensive list of foods I've ever seen. Love the ability to customize and also submit new foods for everyone to use. Love it. One star off because of some problem with the "popular foods" list. Can't see pick anything from that list??

Cynthetiq ,

All this AND it's free?!!

This app is awesome, easy to use, has all the features I need, and the search finds just about every food item I could think of, even some store brands. Even if the search cant find it, it's easy to enter all the info and add it yourself. The only difficult thing is trying to estimate the nutrition info for home cooked meals. Overall, I'm happy with this app because it makes it so simple to keep track of my progress that it is encouraging rather than frustrating. One gripe however... The recipes don't tell you how much is in a serving, it just says one serving... Do I gotta break out a scale and measure 8 exactly equal portions or can you tell me one serving equals 1 cup?!

Cytddgbjuddbkod ,

Can't use if you are too fat (and I don't know what they consider "too fat")

I was able to set up an account and add foods and track everything. First weigh-in comes along and I enter my new weight, which happens to be lower than my starting weight. A message pops up that tells me I am 'very heavy' and need to consult a doctor before beginning any diet. Thanks, but I already know I'm fat. That's why I'm on a diet! And my doctor fully supports my diet, for the record. I can hit 'save' but it just brings up the message again and won't save my new weight. Even though it saved my starting weight - which was higher!! Apparently this is for the people who need to lose 20 pounds but not for the people with more to lose. Very disappointed. I'm uninstalling this app and finding one that's a little more open to helping overweight people lose weight.

User Friendly and Free!

My friend turned me on to this app. We are trying to be calorie conscious on the way to our fitness goals and The Calorie Counter by FatSecret has been very helpful! It has a huge database of nutrition information and what isn't there you can enter in yourself in a snap! The UPC scan feature is very convenient too! All this along with the fact that it pairs an equally user friendly log for calories burnt during daily exercise and graphs and charts to give you a pictorial view of your progress in every area is a great way to see trends in your eating and activity habits. Get the app. You won't regret it!

Side by side comparison

Compared side by side with iTrackBites with in-app purchases, and I greatly prefer FatSecret. Note that this app is a calorie counter whereas the other is point-based. Wish I could get a refund for the other app, and give to FatSecret. Easier "one stop" search engine instead of searching multiple lists, manually. Either more food choices, or search engine is more intuitive; I couldn't find more items in the other app than found in FatSecret. And using this app, following their calorie limit, I lose 8 lbs in first month; for me this is a surprise. I like this app and will continue to use it. Thanks for reading!

Great app, but...

Love this app! BUT...

Create new meal - add ingredients - save everything - create another meal - as soon as you hit the button to add an ingredient the app crashes. After that It's also impossible to create another meal, same crash when trying to add an ingredient . Looks like an infinite recursion because it takes a few seconds for the app to crash.

The only way to then finish creating that meal is to completely remove the app and reinstall from the AppStore. Else the app will keep crashing.

Not completely sure but I think it's also possible to get into the same state by not finishing creating a meal and then coming back later. Again when you try to add an ingredient it crashes. Please fix this!

Effective App

Using this app has given me better success than other attempts without any form of a food/exercise log. Tried side by side with MyFitnessPal & prefer this although either could work depending on one's personal preference. Only complaint is that many food choices are set up from chain restaurant menus-probably food you DON'T want to eat on a diet; it's not always easy to find the healthier meals you're preparing at home. (Capability may exist to create home recipes-I haven't found it). Because of this get calorie estimates which may be +/-10% of actually, but in the long run the app helps keep you honest. Technically easy to use & have never had any glitches.

Best weight loss tool ever!

Fabulous app. Very useful. Very helpful. I love how easy this app is to use you can keep track of your weight, exercise, goals, and your food intake. You can look up each item you eat, whether you eat out buy something at the store and then fix it at home. Once you select it and indicate the amount you ate, it shows the amount of fat, carbs, protein, etc. you consumed and then you can see your totals for the day at the top of the page. It also show the percentages. I have FatSecret on my PC and am using the app on my phone and they automatically sync what you enter. Best tool ever!! LOVE IT!!!!

Lori12344 ,

Missing info.

I have been using this for over a year and I love that it has no ads! Also, the interface is very easy to use. My 1 complaint is that it's missing alot of nutritional information for many food items. For example, if you are on a low-carb or Atkins diet and you want to put in a bun-less whataburger Patty there is no listing for it and only has the full whataburger. I have to get out of the app, go find the information and then go back in and try to find something matching it manually in the search field. Also it doesn't let me save the meal for easier input next time. I am debating trying another app for this reason :/

I lost 20 pounds since I started tracking calories here

Worked beautifully for me and my husband. We tracked for 2 months straight while pairing this app with the Daily Dozen app (free) to make sure we were actually adding nutritious calories to our diet while reducing the empty ones. This app works pretty well and it lets you actually realize that your choice of foods is more important than just reducing the amount of food you eat. Exercise comes next.

I was surprised to find out on this app that a chain restaurant salad I was about to order was way over a thousand calories. I went to Sweet Green instead.

Mayachristine ,

Great, useful app!

I really like this app. I was previously just counting calories with my calculator, but this is way easier and saves all my information. Almost any food is found in the FatSecret system, and if you can't find a food you can do a custom entry. I am particularly fond of the analysis functions, which allow me to see how much carbs, fat and protein I'm eating. I can also track my exercise each day and my sleep habits. I wish that it had a function where I could count my own calories burned while exercising, the built-in calorie count seems to be higher than what my exercise machine tells me I'm burning.

Mmmmmmmaaaaaaddddddiiiiieeeeeee ,

Constantly crashes!!!

I LOVE this app ... when it works! The barcode scanner (using the cell phone camera) is hit or miss & crashes at least 10 times a day. The keypad function to manually enter barcode numbers (without using the camera) crashes literally every time I try to use it. This is extremely frustrating considering the searchable food database is limited. Other than the scanner there's really no way to enter foods that aren't already known in the database. I'm using an iPhone 4 - used to work great on my iPhone 3 & before the last update was released. I tried deleting then reinstalling but it doesn't help. Would be 5 stars if these issues were fixed.

Stan- ,

Well done ... Best of 1/2 dozen apps tried

My goal is to count the calories I eat during the day and and track how close to my maximum. This app does the trick. Lets me scan in items that I'm eating prepackaged. For cooking with a scale to measure the weights of ingredients, allows me to measure the amounts in grams and does the conversions calories, fat etc. Possible improvements might include let me repeat the meal quickly – when I have multiple ingredients it's a pain to have to enter each all over again. And, let me pay you a few dollars more to get rid of advertisements at the bottom of the screen.

Cheesieinvegas ,

Love this app!!!

Im at that age where I'm going through the change. My metabolism has slowed down and I've put on about 17 pounds that I cannot get rid of even though I work out 3-5 days a week. I now have the Apple watch and this app!!! A dynamic duo!! My watch tracks my heart rate, my workouts and do much more AND it helps me push myself a little more!! Combine that with your app which breaks down carbs, proteins, calories etc and accounts for calories burned .. And I have lost 4.5 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks BUT I am eating whenever I am hungry. This app helps me keep my carb intake down among other variables! I might get this weight off!!!!

Fat Secret Review

I gave this app four stars because I do love how you can track your food. But my only wish is too have a better fitness section. What I mean is having multiple options of what you want to record instead of just the time and calories such as reps and sets and the weight. But also to have a part were it tracks your steps/ moves if you are running walking or jogging. The last thing that I wish this had was a chart to show you how much of each drink you had consumed just like the ihydrate app. So if they consider my suggestions than I will definetly be giving them 5 stars instead of 4 stars.

drtakriss ,

Great app...but

I've used off and on since 2011. Tried others but always come back to this one. Couple of tweaks I'd like to see:

1. Older versions had an option to enter, say .33 of something. If you can't go back there, pls put 1/3 in toggle-especially since 3tsp=1Tbs and many things are in TBs.

2. Wish it could sync with Fitbit, for sleep, and polar ft7 hrm for exercise duration, calories heart rate, etc.

3. Many people eat 5-6x/ day. Would like to see the categories changed to meal 1, meal 2, meal 3.....4,5,6. Also people who are training eat every 3-4 hours and others have different shifts/schedules so an option to include meal times would be great as well.

THE ONLY M IN THE WORLD ,

Amazing app!

When it said I should eat about 2600 calories a day to lose weight, I thought, "no freaking way." I found out that I was gaining weight because I was under eating and over exercising. Apparently a lot of dietitians have people like me come in. So since I have been using this app, I have lost 10 lbs but trying to eat that much calories sometimes is a hard thing for me when I work all day. But I'm trying! I've got about 15 more to lose till I'm happy! And I'm sure I'll be using this app for the rest of my life to make sure I stay on track. Thanks, FatSecret!

Eisor35 ,

Fabulous!

I have never written a review before but this app is just too awesome not to. I was diagnosed with diabetes and with this app I track total carbs, protein, sugar, fat and sodium. There's other options available also. It has name brand foods, restaurants and a barcode scanner. It also has a wonderful website and great support if you need it. There's just too many great things to notate but you won't be sorry if you try it! I've lost 45 lbs and I'm still losing and my diabetes and high blood pressure is controlled! I feel like a brand new person! I will never be without Fatsecret!

Best calorie counting app by far and #1 in customer service

I've been using Fat Secret for over 2 years now and I absolutely love it. Works like a charm. Their reports are top notch, the customization features state-of-the-art and having a customer service that actually takes care of you when you have a problem is just out of this world, especially because this app is free.

If there is one thing that could work better is the search functionality. Sometimes it's difficult to find a specific product. But besides that, best calorie counting app there is, by far!

Robhero83 ,

This App is a MUST if you are serious about your health goals

I started using this app about two years ago. It was recommended to me by one of my good friends who also happens to be a personal trainer. Since I started using it, I've been more conscious about the foods I eat and their nutritional content.


Earlier this year I committed to using the app every single day and I went through a complete body transformation… I dropped over 30 pounds in less than 40 days.


For me, this app is a lifesaver, literally. It has changed the way I look at food and nutrition forever.

awesome ava ,

good but needs a few features to be really great

first off this app has a lot of really good features that my fitness pal did not have such as a net carb setting and ability to share your entire food journal with someone. there are a few features that the app needs though to really compete with MFP though.

1. the ability to scan ingredients in the recipe builder, and the recipe builder needs more units of measurement. that's a big downside.

2. it would be great if the app had more of the features seen on the desktop version. sometimes the app feels clunky and not as intuitive.

3. it would be nice if there was a way to share recipes with buddies, especially on mobile app. it would be nice to be able to make a meal, put the recipe in the app and be able to share that with my husband so that he doesn't have to put the same exact recipe in the database too.

4.sugar alcohols need to be subtracted from net carbs.

5. there needs to be more units of measure available for charting.


but on the whole the mobile app is far less bloated and annoying than myfitnesspal. here's to hoping for some improvement to make it truly great!

JamieCrews ,

Crashing App

I LOVED this app before the last update!! I used it every day but now I cannot even get into my "food diary" without it crashing. I see that after the last update they now have an advertisment banner running, I wonder if this is creating network bandwidth issues. I do love that is it free but I would PAY for the functionality of being able to use it. I would love if the developers would give us the option to PAY for an app that does not have the advertisment banner. Also, I do P90X and wear a heart rate montior and would love if I could save my workouts for future use, just so I don't have to re-enter the data every time. :) Please and thank you!! Fix the crashes and it would be a 5 star!!

1isalone ,

Works great on IPhone but not IPad

After 2 weeks I figured out how to get net carbs to show but wish I could have more than 4 categories to show. For those who want net carbs, go under the three ... at top right and choose your settings for display.


This app does not work well on iPad, it always freezes when you touch the three dots on top right. Freezes periodically when touching icons or sections to view. Otherwise, works great on IPhone, but I would like to add my own recipe and have it calculate for me. Does the website do this? I make my own formula for tuna & chicken salad as well as other recipes.

Purplemom8 ,

Very useful App

I weigh and/or measure my food to keep honest proportions. I love that I have the option of servings in ozs. vs. only measurements. There is such a HUGE database of foods but sometimes something isn't there and I love that I can add it. I love that I can enter recipes and get the nutritional breakdown. I love that I can memorize meals. I love the detail I get when I export. I love that my PC/iPad/iPhone are all in sync (most of the time)....LOVE this app and recommend it to anyone who needs something like this.


My one request for the app is that it give me the Protein/Fat/Carb percentages like the website has. If that were here it would be a 5 star App!

CoraMackenzue ,

Useful tool

I have type one diabetes and use this to look up carbs to calculate my insulin. It is really helpful and the library of foods and brands is vast. The only thing I wished were different is the way things are grouped (or lack of) once you choose the restaurant. Like all the drinks should be together, all the sides, etc. If you don't know exactly what something is named or you put it in in a way that isn't exactly as listed, you have to page through to find it. Otherwise it's the best app I have found for being able to look up nutrition information for so many foods.

Forced to give five stars ,

Easy to use

This is easy to use which is great because no one wants to fight with an app. I like that it's tied to the website so I have a choice of how to access it. Love the bar scanner. Some improvements could be made. It would be nice to be able to see your food or exercise diary for over a period of time. Or if you can do that it should be easy to find. Also it would be nice to be able to customize some things you track for example I would like to track the amount of iron I eat. But other than that this is a great app.

KuonHunt ,

Really works well for me!

This app is really useful n easy to use. It will accept the barcode for almost anything. It gives all kinds of nutritive totals, so u can count whatever u want to, not just calories. I tell it how much u want to lose n it tells u how many calories to eat in a day, then keeps track of them for u easily n quickly. It also helps keep track of ur exercise n other activities. I've only been using it about a week (so haven't lost more than a couple of pounds), but I think it is super. It tracks ur weight on a chart as well. Love it!

cornellspa ,

Outstanding weight loss app

I must say I never used a fitness app before. A friend of minetold me to try this. I did and hve been hooked since the first time I tried it. Since then, I have tried my fitness pal, and thd fitbit app. I must say as far as logging calories, meals, etc, I find Fat Secret extremely user friendly. It actually makes being healthy fun! This app is the reason I am changing my life. I just wish this app would sync with fitbit. Otherwise I havd not a bad comment to make. I love it. Thank you to the makers of this app, you have changed my life!

Cepdance ,

Simple and easy

I had been using this app for about a week and a half when I decided to try my fitness pal based on several friends recommendations. Right off the bat, my fitness pal overwhelmed me and I went right back to day secret. Maybe it doesn't sync with everything on my phone, but I like it's simple user interface. I'm also extremely impressed at all the food items in the database... Even my gluten free bread from my local bakery is on here!! Thank you fat secret for keeping it simple! I've lost 2 pounds in 10 days thanks to my accountability with this app.

1wantch0c0l4t3 ,

A must-have for calorie/macro tracking

I find the app very easy to use. I decided to leave MFP and I chose FatSecret about 3 months ago after testing 6-7 different apps. Forget about the funny name, this app is a game changer. No ads, simple interface, and all the features you need for easy tracking of food, weight and even exercise (I don't use that feature, so I can't comment on it). The only thing that bugs me is that you can't scan bar codes when creating a recipe, so I tend to use the web version for this. I LOVE that every food can be entered in grams, as opposed to the tsp/oz/cups mess that was MFP.

MommaCorrianna ,

Best I've used!

It's a great app! My only issue is that sometimes when I pull the app up or use the website, it's on a different day and I end up logging food for a day in the past, which obviously throws off my numbers. Once I finally end up pulling up the real day I'm on, it's blank and I realize what I've done, but there's no way to see what day or days I've been adding food to 😭 If there was maybe an activity log or something that shows the last few things I've added and to what day, that way I could go and delete them and put them on the right day...that would solve this problem!!

PGKutch ,

Great App!

This has got to be the best app for counting calories, carbs, protein, weight or whatever! The best thing is the fact that it has all the popular brands that one would actually be eating. I have one request thou. Being that I have an iPod with limited wifi access if you guys were to update the app and add the database to the internal memory it would make this app the only app worth getting! You could charge $20 for this app and it would be worth it if you added the data base! Without it iPod users are limited in many ways.

Hoodrat81 ,

Good app

has a lot of potential but still not perfect. It's really hard to balance your exercise time with what you're doing. You have to reduce the amount of one activity when you add another...it's confusing. Same with food...it might be easier to adjust how much food you've had if you can add it by amount (e.g. 1 tablespoon, 1 cup, etc.) vs. 1 serving.


this APP has TONS of food items....i have yet to be able to not locate something from a local grocery store and/or restaurant. The clock graph makes it easy to see where you stand with number of calories.

Brookeats ,

Fantastic!!

This app is awesome, especially after using weight watchers' free app with limited functionality. It is not a weight loss plan, just a great tool for however you choose to track food, lose, or gain weight. I like that you can choose the nutrition info that is displayed as it relates to percent of daily calories (good for tracking net carbs on Atkins). Also, I've never searched for a food or brand that wasn't listed.


I'm actually surprised this app is free. The quality and small ad size surpass other comparable free calorie tracking apps.

Jennifer Berger ,

Latest update stinks!

None of my data will sync on my iphone since this last update. And if it does, it takes several days!


And I hate the new iO7 look - what does a keyhole have to do with the purpose of this app? With this new version, I am unable to scroll for a month by month comparison of stats; it will go 1 month back and that is it. Also, when the heck are you going to figure out that it would be more user friendly to be able to search for a food, choose one of the options, and go back to your original list of options WITHOUT having to enter your search criteria ALL OVER AGAIN!!!! Sheesh!!

Type1Runner ,

Used to Be Really Helpful for Watching Macronutrients

I used this app all the time! It's the easiest to use on a mobile device, if you're watching macronutrients for meals.


I just downloaded the new update for iOS 8, and I'm disappointed. The app forces me to choose up to five nutrients to display on the screen, but 2 are permanent, so I can only choose 3 others. These 2 are calories and percentage of RDI. I'm frustrated because percentage of RDI doesn't help me at all. I need to be able to show fat, protein, carbs, and fiber for each meal, to appropriately dose insulin for type 1 diabetes. And now I cannot do that. I guess I'll have to resort to using other apps.

Les M3 ,

Intuitive and well stocked

I used MyFitnessPal for quite some time, but I just like FatSecret way better. FatSecret does pretty much the same thing but it's more intuitive to me. I don't use any tracking tech (like FitBit, etc.) so I can't say how that would work. As a straight forward log, it's fantastic.


Also, I don't feel like FatSecret is trying to get me to spread my progress all over social media. The other apps, as most do, want me to post every little thing to Facebook, Google +, or whatnot. Pass.


I'm sticking with FatSecret. 👍🏼

Fatbitch55 ,

Best Nutrition App Available

I've been using this app for years to track my nutrition and I couldn't be happier with it. I'm also a competitive bodybuilder and without this app it would be so much more difficult to track what I eat. This app has pretty much any food you can think of in its food inventory. And if if doesn't you can always add one. My fitness pal or any other nutrition app doesn't even come close to this app. I would highly recommend to anybody interested in fitness or for any dieting purposes.

Cmiceli ,

Keeps Me on Track

If you're looking for an App to help keep you on track, keep track of your daily intake, and be accountable to yourself, this is it! It's the perfect personal assistant for anyone trying to lose weight. It has all of the calorie information for thousands of foods, and it has all of the major restaurants, making eating out a breeze! The weekly weigh in also helps. It records your progress, so you can see how well you're doing and that helps to encourage you and keep you on track!

TNKS1 ,

Great

Been using Fat Secret for almost one month and lost 3 lbs. but I work out running and weightlifting 3-4 times a week so I probably lost more fat than that. Living in Beijing so many european brands are not listed not to mention some of the asian food I eat so i do improvise a bit with my calorie counts. In any case this app really helps me stay focused and the results are showing. Hope the new update I downloaded will be as good. Anyone who is motivated to control their calories and keep high protein like me should try it!

Anna from Ridge street ,

Good app

It is a very helpful app. I have to google to find certain things on the app, things that I think should be easier to access. There is a home section where I see people leave notes for everyone to see, I can writes comments to their "posts", but I can't find how to write one myself (not badly enough to google it)) also I see people have profile pictures, at a first glance (and a second and a third) I couldn't figure out how to set one myself. But again, my main reason for using this app is to develop mindful eating habits, not to socialize.

Eph91 ,

Love it, but "fixed barcode issues" ? Really?

I love this app. and use it daily (although some of the exercises to choose from are unclear, and I do think it overestimates calories burned both at rest and in some of the exercises), but I am wondering (and can't find any info. on the site) about the claim that the updates have fixed the barcode scanning problems. I have iPhone 4 and the scanner doesn't work. I think I got it to work a few times before the update, but now it never works. I hope they fix this!

poppet9 ,

Very good, would like to see some additions

I've been using this for a few days to compare how I like it to tracking in WW and it's pretty good. Love the scanning feature, but need to get creative when you can't find something specific. Would be great if it had 1/3 cup selection, vs. just 1/4 or 1/2. The choices for exercise is pretty limited, would be nice to have a feature that allows you to put in time exercised and level of exertion to determine calories burned as opposed to guessing that "cycling 15/mph" is the same as a spin class.

Nicole Dolge ,

Best calorie app I have come across

The barcode scanner is my fav part. I made a grill cheese sandwich today and just scanned what I used and put how much I used of each and bam grill cheese with my ingredients. I also used an recipe from here and I love it low in calories and had all the ingredients. Easiest out off all. I have not gave up on using it because it Is an in convince like others I have used. Great app.... Thank you for creating it will recommend to all friends. And post on my Facebook as my fav app...

Christinymarini ,

Version 4

I used to love this app and that is saying a lot since I have tried several different calorie counters on my iPhone. Unfortunately, I don't like some of the more recent updates like the extremely tiny menu bar for recently eaten, most eaten and search when you are trying to add items. I always end up tapping the wrong thing even though I don't usually have that issue with other apps. I also wish the app had the option to put in decimals or at least 1/3 and 2/3 serving sizes as some of the other apps have. Positives are that you can change the columns of items you want to track and edit your own calorie ranges.

LGMCCU ,

Neat, but search option needs help

I have only used this for 3 days. The search option brings up far too many results that are not even related to the search. I searched for an item yester day and it brought it up...searched for the same item today...did not show up. If I search for Jamaican I don't want to see Mexican or any other country's food. Otherwise it is simple and easy to use. It just needs some work done on the search option. I'll give it 3 stars now and when the search option gets simplified I'll come back and give it 5 stars.

Jmdoran ,

Great, incredibly powerful

In previous versions this app was clunky. Nowadays its interface is smooth and easy to use. The real power behind it is the food database which continues to be incredibly extensive. If you want to keep track of your caloric and nutritional intake, as well as estimate the calories you burn, this is the best app on any platform for doing that.


Update: I occasionally forget that I've written a review of this app before and keep coming back here to write another five star review!

Blatkeyes ,

Excellent food log(ger)

This app is easy to use as far as logging food & exercise. Highly recommend for that purpose. I do not utilize the community/social networking feature at all, so I can't comment to that. Only suggestion (& this is because I frequently get my healthy recipes from this source) would be to input the recipes from skinny taste. It gets frustrating having to enter new recipes almost daily - would be great if they were already there! I know it's probably not easy task.

Robthereview ,

Awesome app that keeps getting better

I started using this app in 2012 and in 6 months lost 15 lbs in a healthy manner. I realized I was just eating too much. There are so many foods in their index and if you can't find one you can add it yourself. Provides great summary of calories for the month and exercise. You can also sync with it on line so you can enter from your lap top, iPad iPhone etc. If you want to lose weight or just monitor your carb/protein/fat intake and more get this app! Super app!

Shy.tack ,

Does pretty much everything I want it to

This is a must if you're trying to lose weight. I love being able to so easily adjust the serving size of a food to put in my calorie counter, and it's convenient to be able to upload my own recipes. Besides minor, minor fixes, this does everything I want it to and more. Ridiculous amount of features for a free ad-less app.


Developers--fix the inability to adjust yield servings after the initial save of a new recipe.

GorgeousFaces ,

A happy lady

I fist downloaded this app about 7 years ago and I lost 40lb. Over the last two years I gained about 20 of those lbs back (not eating right and not exercising) so a few months ago I started back with working out and eating right but also started back using this app to help maintain my daily calorie intake and just as before I'm watching my lbs fall off all over again. I love this app. Wish it had more recipe options within the app but over all an amazing resource.

fitness-junky ,

Perfect, BUT useless on iPod when there is no Wi-Fi available!!

I really just wanted a simple app on my iPod to look up nutrition information for foods with specific portion sizes. Initially, when I found this app, I thought I finally found the app to do this simple task. However, then I discovered that this app only works when you are online. If there is not Wi-Fi available, this app is completely USELESS. What a bummer!


I really wish they would come up with an offline version of this app because it really is the perfect app for me.


Oh well... I guess my search for the perfect app continues...

Girl8363893 ,

Works ok--can be frustrating

I love this app in that it is easy to use to log calories real quick. I don't love that it freezes up when I try to use the barcode scanner. There are also some things that calories aren't accurate. I have to double look sometimes. I have also had the app freeze up and delete everything I had stored which is really frustrating because of all the time I put into it. There was never a way to get it to work again I ended up having to uninstall it and reinstall it. Very frustrating to lose all of that data!! :( this has happened several times.

GobiasRecords ,

Most Extensive Database

I've tried a few calorie counting apps. This definitely has the best database. I wish weight tracker included the option for other stats (BF% in particular, which then opens up lean mass weight). Would be cool if, when you opened app, it checked the local time, and had the current meal ready for input in place of "recipes" (i.e.it's 12…time for lunch), rather than tapping food --> lunch. Also would be neat if a user could check "prefill lunch with salad X on weekdays". Best app for calorie counting, a few tweeks and it'd be unstoppable.

SHN512 ,

Good, but not great

Downloaded this app thinking I wanted to switch from another similar app which doesn't have a label scanner. I would like this app better if in addition to showing the number of calories of each type (carbs, protein, fat) consumed, it showed the percentage of each (for example, 45% carbs? 30% protein, 25% fat), the second thing this app is missing is the ability to build a recipe. But the worst part of this app is the ads. They do not tell you that this app is ad-supported and there is no option to get rid of the adds, not even for a fee.

Jwine18 ,

Love this app

I really enjoy using this app. It's simple to use and allows you to scan items for quick entry. My only complain is that of the 5 nutrients you can check to show on the summary page, you can't uncheck calories or RDI. As my goal is to stay healthy, not lose wright, I could care less about either of those. I would rather show fat, protein, sugar and fiber. Please change those categories so that you can customize as you want!

Love the app! Hate the name!

I was recently diagnosed borderline or pre-diabetic. Had to get control of my carbs:protein. Purchased a diabetes specific app and HATED it-too cumbersome! FatSecret is excellent and free. I have diligently used this app and lost 1lb per week - safely and slowly. I'm not to my goal yet (I've only been using this for 6 weeks), but I've made more progress with weight loss than any other program I've used. Great app-I've recommended it to several friends and family members.

Great app helps to track all factors to fitness

Mostly easy to input data and retrieve data. Could use improvements in some areas. 1. Adopting new foods (sometimes this is difficult or impossible especially with unique restaurant foods) 2. Adopting more kosher brands. This has been a challenge because even after I have entered a food not on the standard list it often can't be retrieved.

3. Adapting exercise measures not standard are also challenging. Example has stationary bike at 10, 12, and 15 mph but not anything in between.

Used for a month. Love it.

Excellent app for both mobile and laptop. Journaling can be a pain and I've used myfooddiary and myfitness pal. This free app has good features like MFD. easy to journal. I'm starting to use the challenges which are helpful. It takes a little getting used to to get around on the small screen but the more you use it the easier it is to get around. I don't usually do reviews until I use an app for a while. Give this a try and Enjoy.

It Works If You Do

Pretty happy overall. I've lost almost 12lbs in 16 days just jogging, counting/restricting calories, and some intense but brief weight training. Fat Secret makes the tracking part easy, letting me focus keeping my discipline up. This app pretty much proves that (for most people, most of the time) losing weight is mostly just math and will power.


Much improved from the older version I used when I had an iPhone 4. I just wish the website UI/UX was as good as the app's.

New to App - Great for motivation

I have been using this app for only one month, but it is the first time in 2 years I have lost weight, kept it off and am 100% motivated to keep going! I am down from 190 to 170 and have completely changed the way I eat by using this app's nutrition features. I have also started slowly exercising using the exercise logs, so many options that I can actually do at my current weight and health. Thanks for the motivation!

Terry4u2 ,

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS APP!!!

Loven it love it! THe greatest And most useful app I've ever purchased. To

see what I consumed (and almost consumed) was just great! It saved me when I went to lunch and entered what I usually ordered! It blew my mind to see the amount of calories I usually consumed just for lunch! I promptly leftand found another more calorie friendly lunch! This was an eye opener for me. The barcode has got to be my favorite new toy! I will use this app daily maybe even get hooked. l LOVE IT!

it gets 10 stars from me!

MrSaaadman ,

Excellent for food entries. Exercise part is awkward.

I've been trying to work in the exercise that I do, but I find it too complicated having to figure out the at rest vs. sleeping vs. activity, etc... I would much prefer just to put in my calories burned and have the app figure out the remaining cals for the day. Similar to the quick add feature for entering cals for food. The rest and sleep can be a feature to turn on/off if you like.


Other than that I do find the database extensive and easy to manipulate.

rahwkin ,

Really great app

I’ve been using fatsecret for a week and I really like it. Easy to use once you take a little bit of time to learn short cuts and what it can do. Very easy to input items. I’ve actually lost 7 pounds in my first week using it and am significantly more aware of my diet and nutritional choices. Have also used app on my apple watch - while functions are limited, it’s a great way to add items that are in your regular mix of foods.

Kimichangaz ,

In love

I am in love with this app! Def a huge diff w/counting/tracking calories. Keeps you motivated by keeping you alert in just how much you consume. Track your weight and save recipes or what you normally consume. Saves previously eaten meals and you can enter what isn't in there as well. Another reviewer stated it was glitchy and once in a while I do experience that but the pros outway the cons big time for me. This is my first calorie counter/tracker so I cannot compare.

rhahn69 ,

I wish I could give it more stars

I really like this app. It has a wonderfully supportive group to help motivate when you need it. I love having the ability to scan barcodes to find products and the recipes and recipe builder is great, but you can only use the builder online. The one thing that would make this app fabulous would be the ability to sync with the website. I use both because work doesn't have wifi but the app won't sync with the info I out in at the office. I had to go online to finish out my day. Super annoying.

Saparot12345 ,

Love it!

I absolutely love the fact that I can write in products not found in the database and save them; including pictures (this is especially helpful when you are traveling in different countries and you can save whichever product you consume). Can save meals and recipes, and even share them! It's a great app for tracking macros as it summarizes your total macros for the day at the top, tracks calories burned and weight loss or weight gain progress!

No name57 ,

Used many different, but this out did them all

I have used many different apps, tablets, every kind of tracker out there ( well at least all I could find ) NOTHING has beat this one for ease and data base. I was a yo-yo dieter and now I can keep my weight off and enjoy life just by putting what I eat on my phone as I eat and stopping when I've reached my limit. Before I just guessed how much I had consumed ( not good ) I always went way over. This app is great.

Frusty the Dog ,

Almost Perfect!

This was almost perfect for what I needed. The interface is great, not a lot of nonsense, very clean, good data summaries. Needs a much better database of foods and the memory on the search function isn't as predictive as it could be. I don't mind adding the food items myself, but it would be better to have something as robust as the myfitnesspal database. Although, I have found a few inaccurate food entries on both apps. I guess double checking is just part of the process.

JayeKaCee ,

Best diet help yet!

I had lost 20 lbs using a national brand diet, then stalled at a weight for two months. I found FatSecret and still am amazed at the vast variety of foods listed here. I have been able to keep accurate records of calories, exercise and sleep, and found that in order to lose, I had to eat about half the calories the national brand diet recommended. I am actively losing weight and feeling better week by week. Bravo, FatSecret, and thank you!

lc3370 ,

Best Ever

The only thing that ever worked for Me; made me conscious of everything I put in my mouth, discovering then how not to waste calories on a Godiva Truffle and have lunch instead. Kept track of consumption throughout day knowing how to plan if going out to dinner without exceeding my set intake of 1200 cals.

Gave up very few things.. did more protein, lo carb, little sugar ❗️The entire set up is great if you're a visual person and want to SEE your weekly progress, this is the App for You👌😍

Fitness Doc ,

Overall great! Just a few minor bugs

It's really wonderful and has the easiest, most user-friendly interface from all the ones I've tried. A few fixes that I've noticed in switching from my droid, there's no adjustment for a horizontal screen flip and when you're selecting portion sizes they don't scroll through them before you can select so it can be hard to tell if you're picking "meat only". "Skinless", or something else like that. Overall great though!

Work out girl 93 ,

Good app for tracking calorie intake

I like that I can be exact with calories by measuring food and not just by serving size. It's easy to input home made options (once I use another website to figure out calories). It does not sync with any exercise apps that I use, the barcode reader is not the fastest, nor does it always work. Lastly, wish the color options were different - maybe I can change it but after using the app for 4 years I haven't looked.

m regard q kazoo ,

Have used this for years

I love this app. I have used it on and off again for the last several years and it is such a user friendly and helpful app for those trying to diet, keep track of intake values, or track weight loss/gain. I believe it was the most recent update that gave you the nifty pie chart of fat, carb, and protein percentages; how awesome is that? Before I would calculate by hand. This makes following a low-carb diet so much easier. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Disgusted by Robb ,

Amazing

Better than MFP, in terms of content. Maybe not as large of a database, and definitely not as user friendly, but it really does the job of counting everything and offering personalization (a personal fav is the daily calorie goals) without charge. Could be easier to navigate, and I would definitely like to see a place for notes.


One last thing; PLEASE come together with FitBit. That would be wonderful!

softailkel ,

Comprehensive and uncomplicated

Current version has issues with what date it actually is; doesn't refresh quickly if I enter data from another device. Otherwise, this app makes me want to throw rocks at every other system I've tried. Food lookups are fast and accurate with the barcode scanner, or the ability to add my own foods easily. All the right features for food and exercise tracking are at my fingertips, plus the nutrition breakdown (particularly macros and net carbs) really helps me see what to adjust. EXCELLENT app.

Willie from Waco ,

FatSecret was just what I needed

When I committed to loosing weight on a consistent, healthy schedule I went looking for an app to help me track my calories. FatSecret has been great to use once I got used to the many options. I wish it had a listing I could search of just the foods I have eat en instead of as it were the first time. It does let you search 'recently eaten' but recent seems to be too short for me. Thanks to the folks who make this service available.

12341234asdfasdf ,

Love this app

The hardest part of tracking all your health activities for me is ease of calculating food. This app makes it super easy to measure calories or just what you eat. In addition to that they have a great weight tracker, workout tracker and more. Then to top it all off it does a great job of helping you visualize it all with great reports. I was able to identify more easily where I needed to cut back on certain foods and at which meals. I love this app.

LALights ,

Best Weight Loss App

For most of my life, I've been on and off diets. I've tried all the trends, many of the apps. This app is seriously the best I've used yet.


My doctor links to this to track my progress, which I love. I adore the journal feature. Everything about this app is the best. Instead of paying a lot of money for celebrity endorsed diet programs, download this app, ask your doctor to follow you, and start seeing a change!

OnlyMeMyself&Ruby ,

Fantastic!

This has been a great help in determining if I'm burning more calories than I'm taking in. It even allows you to enter the ingredients from recipes and the servings to determine how much calories, fat and protein your getting and save that recipe for future reference! It's a great way to track calorie and protein intake as well as track overall exercise (not specific weight training sets) but overall burn. I highly recommend :)

PaulieTheNorvegan ,

Best of the best

I started out manually entering my nutrition and exercise in the diary. That was a good way to start because I could flip the pages back-and-forth to view the history. I tried my fitness pal and a couple of other programs before I found fat secret. Fat secret is by far the most intuitive program of it's type that I've used, simple yet quite informative. This is the most used program on my phone.

teejay93 ,

Great app - extremely comprehensive food list

I've been a WW lifetime member for 3 yr and track my points all the time. This app is a GREAT food list resource - it gives points for all different foods (VERY comprehensive list), and my favorite part is that it will do various amounts of foods - i.e. 1/2c flour, 1.5 c flour, etc. Handy for calculating points for my favorite recipes. Also has a very extensive restaurant list, which is extremely helpful as well. And it's FREE!!!

2721v ,

WOW

I got this app late June and have already lost 13 pounds. It's pretty easy to use. Wish it had better "recently eaten" features. If I have 31g of yogurt at breakfast I have to scroll thru and find the right amount if I'm using it at dinner. BLD&S should be just one big space, not so individualized. My fridge and budget are only so big. If I buy a bag of carrots and hummus, I'm prob gonna eat that 8 times in 4 days, why make so many entries.

Gybxdrgcsfxrfcfgx ,

Great tool

I've tried a number of different tracking applications - this one is the definitely easiest. I love that it easily tracks not only calories but macros, and that it breaks those down by meal. The barcode scanner works really well, and if a food isn't in the database it's very simple to add a new one. I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to start tracking their food and/or food intake.

Suz's Six Foot In Heels ,

Love this nutrition tracker

This AP is the best. It is simple and easy for anyone to use. I love the fact it has so many restaurant foods, even ones from the local companies here in Denver. The vast listing of foods and ingredients makes tracking all the healthy meals I cook at home easy to do.

I recommend it for anyone that needs to track their diet and nutrition.

I do wish that they would develop a way to sync the data with my FitBit.

paulasaunders ,

Good app.

I really like this app. However, set-up with the confirming email and syncing between my iPad, iPhone, and laptop wouldn't always happen automatically. It was a little frustrating at first. Tech. Support Doesn't respond very quickly when emailing for help. The food list and measurements are excellent. Customizing my plan has been pretty simple to figure out. I have only used it for a few weeks, so I will update my review after I have used it longer.

redcd ,

Great app. Has improved with Time!

I got this app as part of buying some books to help learn how to eat right and exercise years ago. It works amazingly well and many new features have been added since. Love this app and all the improvements! Keep up the good work! And yes, I have lost weight using this app. Find the books. Buy the books. Read the books. Highly recommended!

Joey1 Indiana ,

Better than others

I recommend!


I've been comparing this one to the "Lose It" ap for 2weeks.


Pros compared to the Lose It ap

1) more foods available to choose from on lists

2) less annoying pop ups to purchase products

3) you can see the consumed nutrients without fees

4) easier for me to navigate

5) easier to add new foods to their list

6) Calculates your sleep calories

7) First screen is a summary of your day ( instead of tapping other icons)

8) first screen is nicely arranged and you can expand the areas for details

9) includes several things the Lose It ap charges for!!


Cons

1) wish this ap connected to my iwatch to pull my workout calories over. Other than that I don't have any complaints at the moment... it's free! C:

Mongo Wonder ,

Can't believe it's free!!

I found the FatSecret website first and thought that was pretty great. Then I found the app and love it even more. I really can't believe it's free.


The only improvement I could think of, would be if it could sync to a Fitbit or some other tracker for the exercise input. But I guess that might involve costs. I might even pay for that upgrade if it was available and not too expensive.

cheri LW ,

Love this app

This app is easy to use, I love the visuals to track my progress and I love how easy it is to find food as well as customize entries for my own serving sizes. It has a great food memory feature that makes t easy to find foods I eat often. Highly recommended to anyone just getting started in their journey or anyone who just needs to get back on track and more accountable to themselves.

Simplysavory ,

Tracking for the tracking resistant

Fat secret takes all the guesswork out of tracking. From the barcode scanner to the seemingly infinite search capabilities, you WILL find the thing you ate. This is also coming from an exotic food enthusiast so you know I'm not kidding. I love that you can break your diet down to the macro level even. Finally, I love that they offer recipes as well. It's one stop shopping for sure.

Zane Tobin ,

Great App

I really like the graphics. Very good looking app. I would have gave it five stars if the barcode scanner worked and I could keep track of vitamins and water intake. I have used other apps that do this but lack the large database of foods that this app seems to have. I also cannot figure out how to delete an exercise that I added for today. Can someone post how to do this? Also, where is a help file? Should the barcode scanner be working with iPhone 4?

PK32127 ,

It

I used another calorie counter app prior to trying out this one. Now this is the only one I use. It's much easier and intuitive and the barcode scanning feature makes it a snap to enter foods. It's one of my most used apps. By the way, missed this app a LOT during the temporary period where it was crashing. The 2.0.1 version seems to have brought things back to normal.

AlexSox ,

Excellent App

This app is great to keep track of calories. Not only does it feature serving size, but you can change the number of servings you have and it will calculate that. It keeps a handy record of breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks and you can use the iPhone cam to scan bar codes for food items not listed. And it keeps a record of recently & mostly eaten foods so you can add them to your diary quickly!

Trakkker ,

Very SMART app!

As someone who is steadily and slowly trying to gain weight, and keep track of the protein carbs and fat intakes, this app is fantastic! I use it throughout the day, and before I even eat dinner I know where I am on my daily intake. So before the day is over I can tweak my last few hours' caloric intake. For example, I just got done eating dinner and I need to eat another 235 calories (of mostly carbs) before I go to bed.

laurkrav ,

Great but crashes a lot

My husband and I are both using this app to track ourselves for weight loss. Overall, we really like it- great user interface and very intuitive. There are a couple problems: 1) IT CRASHES A LOT causing me to have to input things again; 2) the options for inputting exercise are inflexible- there are lots of options but it would be better if I could create some or just enter calories expended ( maybe you can and I just haven't figured that out - so maybe it's not THAT intuitive).

Keys lady ,

Better but one more thought

Latest upgrade makes the app better, but still would prefer to have the summary total of consumed and remaining calories at the top of the screen, where you add food. That's the main info I'm seeking after food input. Now I have to scroll to bottom of screen. Would be better to move the fine detail info to the bottom of the screen for the folks who want that level of minutiae.

PointBass ,

Really Useful

I use this every day. The app catches most of the popular/common brand names and is very accurate when comparing the calorie count to what the food packaging states


The only complaint is that you can't add multiples of the same item. If you have, for example, two Polly-O string cheese sticks, you have to type in that item twice ... Or maybe I'm just messing it up ....


Started at 292, down to 260 and headed to my target weight of 250. Thanks for the easy to use app!

R.S. Park ,

Mr.

This is an incredible tool to monitor and track macros and exercise. I have used this app almost every day for the last two years, and it keeps getting better! I am a fitness trainer and use the fat secret professional online service with all of my clients. Provides outstanding insight and accountability for the trainers and the clients. Great job! Make a professional app so I don't need to use my browser!!!

Jillann333 ,

Best I have used!

This is a great app that has an amazing database. The only thing that would make it absolutely perfect: if you could input recipe info and get the nutrition data and apply it to your calorie count. Right now I have to use a separate app for that and it's rather inconvenient to have to transfer the data. Otherwise this app has replaced my weight watchers app which I have used forever. Love it.

Lgbg0420 ,

Love this App!

I found this app 5 years ago and I loved it then and I love this app even more now. I lost 25 lbs the first time and maintained for 4 years. I love the food database and how you can add food, find easy recipes and save meals you eat all the time. It sometimes has problems saving foods to your daily intake but not enough to annoy me. I would highly recommend this app to keep track of your calories.

Instupituous ,

This is the one you want

Syncs with the website, iPad, and igoogle. Extensive, easy-to-add-to database. The barcode scanner is sheer genius. Can customize tracking for dietary needs (like sodium or fiber rather than only fat, kCal, carbs.) Tracks calories out. Easily adjustable daily calories-in target. I cannot think of a feature it needs to add, and the interface is wonderful. And it's FREE. I would pay $5-10 for this, easily.

Druikje ,

Fantastic

Fantastic app : easy to use, content. (Food lists), flexibility (add own food or menu or recipes). .

This app really helped me reach my goal : -14 kg. It takes you just a few minutes per day and helps you eat mindful.

The intake (food) en usage (moving/exercise) of calories can easily be registered and visualized.

Also the synchronised usage with laptop is handy.

In my top 3 of most used apps. I recommend !! !

E dubs ,

Love this app!

This is an excellent app to track calories if you are looking to lose weight, gain weight, or just monitor macronutrient intake! It is extremely easy to use - there’s a barcode scanner that allows you to scan in your food items with ease and there are even recipe ideas. As an added bonus, the online community connected by the FatSecret website is phenomenal.

revuapp ,

Best food information app so far...

I have downloaded 4 other apps and they all paled in comparison to this. I have yet to search for a food that it has not found. In fact, there are probably too many choices of the same food packaged in different ways. But that's not a criticism. The information is detailed yet easy to use. Use it all the time. It is excellent. Can't believe it's free.

Garnacerous ,

Easy to use and helpful

I've used this app to lose 20 lbs so far, and it's made the process so much easier. Almost all food I eat is in there (searchable by barcode too), and I can easily add anything extra.


I can also track my weight and even archive my old scale readings. The only improvement I'd want is to make the weight graph more interactive so I can zoom in to specific time periods (and maybe provide other trackers like waist size or fat%).

Nino1967 ,

Greatest for Accuracy & Accountability

This app will hold you accountable for every single item going into your body. The only way you will not attain your goals is if you do not use it or lie to it. I have lost over 24 pounds utilizing this app. The scanner and the saved meals make it easy to enter your data on a daily basis. I would strongly recommend to anyone trying to attain Health, wellness, and fitness goals.

EPG2672 ,

One Simple Request

I absolutely LOVE this app. It's very simple, easy to use and tracks tons of great data, macro, etc.


The only thing that keeps me from giving it five stars is the portion calculator. It REALLY NEEDS to have 1/3 and 2/3 measurements along with the 1/4's. I am sooo tired of having to convert portions into grams to chart the correct amounts. It's a simple fix guys! Just two more numbers on the handy-dandy scroller! Pretty please? I'll love you forever and give you stars to the moon and back! 🌎⭐️⭐️⭐️🌙

R.J. Sluman ,

Outstanding!!!!!!!

This app is crucial to my daily life. I am in the process of trying to lose 100 pounds & knowing exactly what I eat is paramount. The app is easy to use, very comprehensive, and I see it being with me for my entire journey as I transition to a whole new way of eating. Furthermore, the Fat Secret community online is very supportive and a wonderful resource. I recommend this app to anyone who is serious about their nutrition!

MSU4ever ,

Best App! Tracks net carbs!!!

I started a low-carb diet for weight loss and health improvement. I've been looking for an all-in-one app that tracks not only carbs, but net carbs, too ... well, here it is! FatSecret beats all other apps by a long shot (the paid ones, too!). It's free – no subscription or paid upgrade needed – and syncs with iOS HealthKit and WatchOS. Plus, it's highly customizable to track what YOU want. Your search is over!

MarshmallowTreasure ,

Almost there..

I really love this app! I love how I can keep track of what I eat and the exercise that I do.


It would be nice if there were more food options, because sometimes I just choose the closest thing to what I ate because there isn't that food there.


And then also with the exercise part, can there maybe be a bit more research done so that there are most of the popular exercises recorded with how many calories you burn etc.

Long Islander, NY ,

Fantastic!

Thanks to developer for making this application! I love how they set up and it's so easy. Before I go out to meet my friends last mins plan. I can look it up quickly on restaurant fast food chain i.e. " Chili's " and knew what I will be ordering for my dinner. It's very useful and help to cut down on bad fat stuff such as sodium killer and others hidden secret that we don't know. This is highly recommended.

SlyGuy ,

Ads are in the way

I am trying this after being fairly happy with Lose It. My biggest complaint so far is that the ad band at the bottom is so tall that I can't use the buttons at the bottom of the app. I'm not sure how often I will have to use these on a daily basis, but during the setup it was very frustrating. Yes, I understand the need for ads on free apps, but the ads should not interfere with being able to use the app.

LindaO6 ,

Sweet app

I've reviewed several calorie counter apps and this us the best one. Easy to use, nice features, accurate, and convenient navigation. I can track my calories and carbs in one place, log my activity level, or quickly look up a food (including national, chain, or store brands) before making my decision. If a food is not on the very thorough list, I can add it myself. Love this app! Great job.

F5er ,

Love it!!!

The only thing I wish it had is body measurement tracking. When I'm not losing weight, tracking my inch loss is a great motivator. I love the simplicity of the app. I've spent quite a bit on fitness apps and this FREE one will be my favorite. Will still have to use another for inch loss though I really love that it has activities in addition to exercises, like resting, driving, sleeping. It's like having a bodybugg/gowear fit without having to pay the $200. Thanks !!!

Just me too. ,

Love it but could use some adds

I really love this ap, it has an esthetically pleasing interface with the date and summary. A few features I would love to see are:

1. Please add a water tracking feature (I currently use Waterlogged-which I LOVE) it would be great to have it on one ap.

2. Please add a memory to food/exercise. I have my daily foods and do Zumba; which I have to manually enter every time. The commonly eaten foods thing doesn't work (for me).

3. It would be great to have a notes page for each day, which I would use for noting my vitamin intake and other things I may want to note.

4. Calories burned calculator would be awesome; based on weight and low, mid & high intensity.

5. A weight loss graph would be a great visual.

AngelaJoy69 ,

Great app; excellent use & low crash rate

I've used the website for this (fatsecret) for 6+ years. The app is a great addition, although I didn't sync it because I didn't want to lose my historical data. Not sure why it couldn't merge the two. The app is great for daily logging of food and goals. Would be nice if it had food group categories to slot food into though. Overall it's very good. Only crashes when canceling barcode scans.

warneika ,

Great weight/food app tool

I find this Fatsecret app very helpful for finding out nutrition info on a wide variety of foods and brands. The barcode, a great added bonus. Just punch in the barcode digits and it finds the item. I absolutely love that you can vary the serving size that you need, from the smallest of amounts to the number of servings, accordingly. A must app if wanting to keep track of all your weight/foodie needs.

TerriGeo ,

Love this app!!

I have been using this app for years and I love it! I love how quick and easy the scanner for UPC's is. My only recommendation for an improvement would be able to add the time that you eat your meals/snacks and maybe add a body measurement section, that way we don't always have to rely on the number on the scale to determine the changes in our bodies.

I highly recommend this app!

Traxy429 ,

Best App Ever!

I am on a weight loss program that, if you can believe it, does not have an App! I have to keep track of my carb intake so when I was searching for an app to help me I found Fat Secret and installing feel in love! It has everything I need AND I enjoy using it, user friendly, has all the foods I am looking for, the scanner is wonderful and just love the format!!! Keep up the great work!

LELgirl777 ,

Fat Secret

Great app, very user friendly and love that it tracks your protein, fats and carbs. Great barcode scan to quickly add products. It works if you track! This app was recommended to me by my doctor and I highly recommend over the weight watchers app I was using prior to this app cause I have to pay attention to carbs, protein and fats as well as calories so I make better choices to stay in my range.

Slenner ,

Great Program

I am very happy with the functionality of this software and the support from the developer. It's superior to Lose-it, because of the robust food database,barcode look up feature and the website community. my only suggestion is to add a daily goal and real time under/over status as compared to each person's caloric requirements.


Sandor Lenner

Dese34 ,

Could not recommend higher.

I'm down 100+ lbs while using this app. over the past 14 months. No way around the fact it works and it's flexible. I have it everywhere to keep it convienent (iPod, BlackBerry, Laptop, wife's Droid) so I have no reason not to keep up with the number of calories I'm consuming. By far the best app. I've ever used on my iPod, paid or otherwise.

Calorie counter professional ,

I love this app! Better than ones that cost money

This app is way better than the live strong app. My only recommendation would be to include more exercise options or at least more specific. For example elliptical as an option, instead of exercise machine. I love this application. They have the nutritional information of everything and every brand.

LaurieLu1 ,

So simple to use

I have been using this app and the website to track my calories/workouts/weight for over a year now and I really like it. I find it very simple to use which is perfect for me. I don't like a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles that i will never use. It is straight forward and I love how now they have incorporated recipes with the calorie counts already done. Really great app

Ninjasteve1980 ,

BEST FOOD DOC APP

I live Fatsecret. Whenever I need to lose weight or see what a serving of one of my recipes' nutritional info would be, I use Fatsecret. I still like the full web version a little better, but the app is great when i just need to add food items quickly. Takes some getting used to and time to enter new foods and recipes, but once they're in there, you've got 'em! Great tool.

Restaurant, brand and market sections are great

I have used my fitness pal and my plate and both are excellent. BUT I stumbled on this, yesterday had haven't really tested it. BUT to a first cut, the section on chains, supermarket, and brands is excellent and maybe more comprehensive than the competitors. Is certainly easy and quick. Try it and you will probably enjoy it a lot for the simplicity The detailed food tables. SIMPLE QUICK AND COMPREHENSIVE ESPECIALLY THE CONMERCIAL PARTS OF THE TABLES

Wife and mother

I am glad that I downloaded fat secret. It's a great tool to see how to hit your caloric intake goals. Also Obama able to see trends and patterns in my eating habits that I might not see if I wasn't keeping track. For example I ate a lot more snacks which added quickly to my caloric intake. It helped me see the value in not eating fast foods and more at home meals. I am glad and support fat secret .

Better than MyFitnessPal

I have used my fitness pal and fat secret. Fat secret is easy and focused. It has The gif diary, weight and exercise tracker, reports, etc. The interface is simple, clean and clear. The new version of MFP is busy, it has too many distractions and too much extra stuff. I really like this app because it is helping me stay focuses on what's most important for my weight loss.

prissywils ,

Easy, Fast and very helpful

One of the few apps for weight tracking that makes complete sense and easy enough to pop in, search and record. I'm truly enjoying the fact that most of the foods I eat include brand names and breakdowns of all nutritional info. Thanks for this app. I'm much more confident that I'm consuming and staying in check with my goals.

Net carb tracking

Still the best app for tracking Net Carbs in my opinion, with no extra purchase to do so, or elaborate work arounds or tweaks.


My one wish is that they'd include 1/3 and 2/3, for adjustment measurements in the servings. A teaspoon is 1/3 of a tablespoon, so it is a common division in portions. Also, (a design element complaint here) I am not a fan of the spinner for selecting portion amounts, it's clunky and dated. I would like a simpler more streamlined approach there.

donnamm ,

wanting/wishing

I love this program for its possibilities! It is great as is, when it is not closing without notice, usually while you are trying to enter the food in your diary. I do however, wish that I could do substitutions. (example.. hamburger helper-- we make ours with ground turkey and fat free milk, but the calorie count is as prepared with beef and skim milk. I also wish that when counting fat grams that I was able to view good fats vs. bad fats. It lumps them all in together.

Penny from Baton Rouge ,

wonderful app but . . .

The scanner feature is wonderful, however it keeps crashing or timing out not sure what is going on but it is very frustrating to get kicked out right in the middle of inputting information. This is the only complaint I have otherwise the app is a wonderful tool to have. I will give it 4 stars but once the bug is fixed on the crashing it would be perfect.

ph0t0g1rl2 ,

Love it!

Love this app! I haven't found a single restaurant or food choice that isn't in the database. It allows you to type in the UPC if it can't read the barcode. And it has found every food I've tried so far. I love the diet diary! You can set how many calories you want to net in a day and get a visual reference of how you're doing. I would pay for this app- I can't believe it's free.

OMG, really?? ,

Some issues, but hey it's free!

Downloaded a while ago, finally started to use it and I can't believe how GREAT it is...sure, barcode crashes, but I'm just happy it has that feature, I'm sure they will fix it...so far it has helped me tremendously for five days. I can't afford weight watchers right now so this app is awesome for me!! Plus I've hated points since they started them!!!

Tony-Daddy ,

Good App but.....

I enjoy the features BUT it crashes or bogs down often, in the "weight tracker" section the "goal weight" won't change from the intial setting of 175 that I put in a few months ago. I have a new goal weight that I'm trying to achieve that's lower than 175. However, everyday when I weigh-in and input my daily weight and try to input a my new goal weight but it never takes. I emailed the operators but no updates yet. I recommend another App until this one gets updated. Otherwise, it has potential.

Abbylicious22 ,

Best Calorie Counter App

Very simple to use, easy way to track my diet and exercise. I've recommended this app to my friends. I wish they would add more exercise options, it's not bad or anything mostly everything is already on there. But I use the elliptical trainer everyday and its not on the list. I use the "other" option instead. But it's been awesome so far!

BeccaHabegger ,

Easy, convenient way to track progress!

I've been using this app now for five months, and it's easy and convenient enough that I can honestly say I've used it every day and incorporated it into my daily routine. Adding calories and exercises is fast and easy. AND it's free! Highly recommended. Not every brand of every food is stored in the app, but there's usually a good approximation for whatever it is you're eating.

JoJi55 ,

Very Helpful

This app is instrumental to my success in following the LCHF eating plan. I am able to keep carbs below 50 g per day and have even attained 20 g per day utilizing this app to plan meals and track progress. Love some of the low carb recipes too. This way of eating is so contrary to the last 30 years of advice for low fat diets that this app has been a major contribution toward my success.

SD417 ,

Awesome app!

This app is awesome! It truly has helped me keep a diary of what I'm eating and helping me keep track of my macros! As I'm trying to build muscle, I know exactly how much protein I'm consuming in the day! I recommend it to anyone that's trying to keep track of their macros, loose weight and just hold yourself accountable for your nutrition intake! It works if you're committed! Oh...helped me loose 7 lbs too! 😃

Gameboy3000_53 ,

Helping me lose weight...

This app is definitely helping me lose weight by allowing me to track my calories and see exactly what I'm eating throughout the day and adjust accordingly. It's amazing to see how much you actually over eat when you don't count calories...this app is easy to use and will help you achieve your goal if you stay consistent

sarangdipity ,

It needs wifi connectivity :/

OK, first, I've got to say this is an awesome calorie counter! I use it everyday. You can look up hundreds of foods, and if you can't find something, you can always add it to the app. One thing I don't like, is that it requires an internet connection! I really hate the fact that when your somewhere w/o wifi, it says "Requires internet connection" or "Network timed out". Please add an Offline Update?

Zymu ,

Pro version please

This app has helped me to make a significant lifestyle change. For that it (they) have my endless gratitude. I would love a pro (paid) version which would include weekly, monthly, and yearly intake and output charts. The ads in this free app are very unobtrusive but a paid, ad-free version would be awesome!

Thank you fat secret for an awesome app, and for my health, now let me give you money.

Mardge the taco ,

Best App, Worst Name

I love tracking my calories. It's really shown me where I blow it & has given me inspiration & motivation to continue eating healthy. I'm goal driven & this helps motivate me like nothing else ever has. Only small complaint is that I often cook from scratch & this is challenging to input correct numbers with those kinds of meals, especially if there's a lot of ingredients.

ajl79nd ,

Great!

I love this app. I was using MyFitnessPal for over a year but didn't find it as easy. When I started at a weight loss clinic in July, this app was one that was recommended to use. I loved it from the first time I used it. It's simple, tells me exactly what I want to see for each meal-ie carb count, protein grams. This makes it so much easier to see where I stand for each day.

Ronald Quint ,

Really Good

I have been using this app for about 2 weeks. It is starting to make me see my bad habits from eating and lack of sleep. It takes about 1 week of logging everything so that you develop a view of your eating and exercise, and sleep routine. I plan on using this app everyday to help me reach my goal of losing and maintaining my target weight.

Vonnnna ,

Easy and Functional

I love this app, so much that I had to give it a positive rating (which I rarely do). It's so simple to track my meals, weight, and even exercise. I love the customizable database where i can choose which macros I want to monitor. Also the ability enter information via barcode is super convenient. I would recommend it to anyone.

Mullattamix ,

So helpful!!

I never have been very big on diets but I also didn't realize how much I eat how many calories over what I need that I eat this app just help me realize how unhealthy I was eating and I'll actually pause before eating something and look at the back and type it in to see if it's going to put me over for the day so awesome I love this app

Lydia314 ,

Keto/Macro friendly

I was looking for an app that I could input my macros into, I tried at least 4 other apps and none of them include everything that FatSecret does! MFP is supposed to, but it is not as user friendly as FS is, I easily modify my macros to my weight loss in order to keep me on track. I've been using this for 4 months now and couldn't be happier 😀.

Meresunshn ,

Fastest, easiest and BEST!!

There are so many apps out there to journal your food, exercise, etc. Fat Secret is so easy to use! The best part is that you can immediately see how many grams of carbs, protein and fat you have consumed for the day. Once I hit my carb limit, then I stop eating. Also, just scan your food as you are preparing it so it makes journaling fast, easy and fun!!

starzineyes ,

Gets the job done

For me, the secret to losing weight is remaining aware of my intake. I was using another app, but they got greedy, LOADED it with ads and asked too much money to make them leave. So I dropped that one. Didn't use one for a while – gained a lot of the weight back. Got this one, works just as well as the last one. I hope they don't get greedy.

SpiffyKeenCool ,

Awesome App!!!

It's one of the few apps I had to have when I converted from Blackberry to iPhone. Best of all, it's even easier to use on iPhone! All my data even came with me through the sync feature, which syncs across devices and the website, so no matter where you're inputting data, you're always up to date!

Ruth Dunton ,

Amazing accurate

The "Fat Secret" application is the best I've ever seen. It have every single food and brand in its extensive database allowing for complete Accuracy when logging food & activity. You won't be disappointed in downloading it. Thus far I've lost 5 pounds in two weeks from tracking and logging my meals. I highly recommended it.

Starrparty ,

Great app to track calories

I used to use MyFitnessPal, but found I had to upgrade to premium to do what I was able to do before for free. FatSecret is easy to use and has a large library of food and exercise making it easy to track. I've already lost 6 lbs toward my goal, and this app has definitely helped.

Hereiwoz ,

What an amazing app!

This app has truly helped me change my lifestyle and track my healthy eating.

It's user friendly and has almost every food you could possibly think of!

Also the units the food is measured gives you options so you don't always have to know the grams of something.

Thank you and well done!

Kelly45678 ,

Pretty good, few complaints

Simple, clean, to the point. I love it. My only complaint is that the fractions and units available to use aren't as user-friendly or precise as I'd like (Can't type in decimals, have to use drop-down list of fractions, but only 3 fraction options available. And for some foods, the only unit is 1 serving. So instead of entering that you ate 5 crackers, you have to say you ate half of one serving of 12 crackers.)

Glyciops ,

Great little diet app

I've used Fat Secret off and on for over 4 years and like it a lot. It's great for tracking your diet, exercise, and weight. I use the app to maintain a diabetes-healthy diet and to track my daily carbs. I like how Fat Secret partners with the Apple Health app to track all kinds of things.


On the down side, the app freezes upon opening about one time in twenty. Kind of a bother but not bad enough to make me drop the app.

Bkuzel ,

Great for tracking key stats

I mostly track weight, calorie intake, and calorie output. From that perspective it is a fantastic, easy to use app. I love being able to scan the barcode of packaged food. Entering a home made meal from whole foods is more time consuming but still a simple process. I'd love to see the food library expanded even more.

Susyqb59 ,

SusyQ

Enjoying this app. Very simple and easy to use. It has all the basics that you need to get started toward your goals. It really puts you in check on what you're eating and what a true serving size really is! When you start keeping track is when you realize how much you consume on a daily basis. I would deff recommend this app.

Saxynails ,

Excellent

Love this app just about anything you can think of regarding food is in their database. Simple and easy to track your meals. Only things I could think of that would make the experience better is more types of tracking i.e. BMI, body measurements, and A simpler way to make your own recipes to store them for future use.

Hdibsjzhsisbd ,

Needs flexible name/number of meals

For the most part I like this app. Personal trainer had me download it so she could track my progress. I work an odd schedule and I eat breakfast at lunch or dinner at breakfast time. I would like to have the option to rename the meals to times like myfitnesspal. Or even to add more meals besides B/L/D and snacks.


Overall it's a good app, the social media aspect of it is pretty cool along with recipes and photo sharing.

Sgerken ,

Suggestion

I really like this app and all of the options. For the list of exercises you should really add a yoga and stair option. Thanks also I was keeping track of my breakfast and I had sausage links I had 1 and 1/2 and you have it in there as 3 for the serving size and no way to adjust now I have to remember to knock off 130 calories because I didn't eat the whole serving size.

M4schler ,

Latest updates downgrade app

Doing nothing to software is often better than doing something. Such is the case with the latest update. Spin wheel choosers are almost unusable. Look and feel are not intuitive. This app doesn't have to be pretty- it HAS to be functional. I really liked the old look and feel. If you must change for iOS 7.0.x at least change in favor of usability and content.

thecutestnightmare ,

Why isn't this more popular?

I love this app so much. It's more user friendly than myfitnesspal, it has an easier to find and larger food bank than lose it. The exercises could be expanded but it's easy to find something in the same calorie burn range if you don't do a normal workout. I recommend this to EVERYONE.

Tyla k ,

Best counter I've used!

I have used all kinds of different apps to count calories and different ones to record my work outs! I love that this one does both!! I have yet to find something I don't like about it! It's easy to use, I have used it everyday since I started watching my diet and doing more exercising! Love, love, love this app!

Bloodline 4 ,

Good app, but with one flaw

This app is great, easy to use, and simple. The only problem I have is that the in-app RDI calculator is pretty terrible. It estimated I needed to eat about 2800 calories a day to lose weight; I checked with other websites after about a month and found out my RDI to lose weight is about 1400 calories. So pretty big flaw for someone who relies on using the in-app RRI. Besides that problem it's a great app.

Pm-ca ,

Keeps me on track.

Even though i was eating paleo diet and working out, i was not losing as much weight as i wanted to.

This app helped me keep in track the calories in, especially for paleo desserts, dry fruits, etc.

The pictorial representation for weight keeps me motivated plus everyday ratios of protein/fat/carbs really help.

Suggestion for improvement: please add more options in exercise, for example running at various speeds.

Prickly Pig ,

The Best

This is the best calorie tracking app I've tried. The color scheme, app layout, and graphing elements are the most user friendly.

A problem came up with brand name foods not appearing in the search. I emailed FatSecret, they answered within a day and a fix was found. I had mistakenly set my region to "Chad" rather than "US". I reset it and all is well again.

Lusitajtzgzsh ,

Please add...

A) Ability to track motion from phone (using isteps, etc)

B) More portion control! This one is keeping me from using your app currently

It was better when you could type in your own serving amounts (ie: you could indicate you ate 1/8 serving by inputting 0.125), but at LEAST add 1/3 and 2/3 serving fractions! Only being able to indicate you ate 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4 of something makes accuracy difficult, and it is an annoyance big enough to make me not want to use the app currently.


Good things about this app that sets it above other calorie trackers:

A) calendar that shows daily and monthly nets (this is a REALLY great tool)

B) ability to alter resting time, thus making your calorie expenditure more accurate (although I think your resting metabolic rate might be high)

Jdlenshjqbt ,

Great app for tracking progress!!

Love all the foods they already have in the database. Really makes logging foods so much easier! Would love to see them give you the option to set your macros at target numbers instead of only setting calories - would help with Atkins and Keto diets as well. Overall the best food and weight tracking app I have been able to find.

KinkyWhisker ,

Best way to keep track

Fat secret had always been my go-to place when it comes to dieting and keeping track of your weight. Unlike other weight trackers, fat secret actually has a huge selection of name brand foods and stuff people actually eat so you are able to log pretty much anything you eat.

Actuizzle ,

Not a Flexible Platform

I liked this app a lot until I tried to add some food from the cafeteria at work. I don't know any information for the food (it's from the salad bar) so I have to guess. It's impossible to enter this food into the journal! You have to know exactly how many calories, carbohydrates, protein, and fat are in the food or you can't record it. I don't know! I just want to guess the calories. Try Lose It! That app is more flexible.

123983tf ,

How this app works for me

At first i added this app and lost 28 lbs but i figured it was just me since i felt like i never really used the app. So i deleted and ever since then ive stayed the same weight and i was like honestly what an i doing wrong. But after that i added the app again and lost 10 more lbs so i believe the app works for me!

Klaw60 ,

Indicator bar

This is an awesome app. It would be cool of the app incorporated a indicator bar much like one that tracks cell min history thought a month. Only this indicator would track your caloric intake daily. I am trying to gain weight and It would be really nice to see my progress throughout the day to see if I'm ahead of my target or behind.

kiddler ,

AWESOMENESS!!!

This app has been absolutely essential in being a part of my 80 lb + weight loss! It is easy to follow and track and has such a variety of foods. The scanner works great and the whole interface is fun to use. I actually look forward to when I can next record! Thank you so much for such an excellent app!

Pengguni ,

Best weight management app ever.

As I decided to lose weight, I didn't sure whether ate too much or not. Fatsecret actually shows me how many calories I ate, and I found out that I ate too much.

With Xiaomi Mi scale and Xiaomi Mi fit, Fatsecret perfectly integrated with health app to track my diet progress properly.

Anyone who failed to find diet buddy app, I strongly recommend Fatsecret.

Coastie1772 ,

Decent

The app is pretty user friendly. I'd like to see servings in decimal instead of fractions. Also I'd like to see much more of my weight history. I've been using this app for almost 5 years now and have a lot of data that id like to export to other apps. All in all it's pretty good but there's much more I'd like to see. I'll start looking elsewhere until they integrate health kit.

Ianj2434 ,

I love this app!!!!

I was diagnosed with type one diabetes three weeks ago. My friend told me about this app and I love it!!!! I can keep track of what I eat and how many carbs I consume. I really love that it shows restaurant menus so I can plan what I'm able to eat before I get there, including the carbs and sugars. I would highly recommend this app.

MollyB ,

Very thorough app!

I've been using this app for a couple of months now along with the app for nutrisystem since I've been on that program. This app is great. I'm able to even search for the nutrisystem meals and they're all in there. I love being able to track fat grams and calories as well as other nutrients. I like it!

Colinmw ,

Great App

This is a great app, though the design could be better. It's not necessarily completely outdated nor flat-out ugly. However, it's not necessarily top-quality design.


Other than that, the app is great with TONS of options available! It's 1 of the best nutrition-counting apps out there with a huge database that's constantly added to!


The 1 problem I have with the app is it doesn't really record minerals nor vitamins, which I don't like. However, other than that, I'd definitely suggest getting it.


You'll probably be surprised at what's in some of the restaurant and fast food you eat, not to mention the nutrition facts of some of the food and drinks you consume each and every day.

Mikiymini ,

Lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks

At first it was a little confusing but when I got the hang of it I was able to track everything I eat the calories and even the calories I burned with exercise... this app is great... o already lost 10 pounds just by eating right and still going down... I recommend it

Aggiehook071234 ,

Great, but big bug

This is a great app, the only one I've actually rated. However, there seems to be a bug with the barcode scanner; it'll scan the UPC (or I type it in), it'll pull up the info, then freeze. It doesn't matter how long I've waited thinking maybe it just processing data, but it stays stuck. Fix that and it'll be 5 stars, hands down.

Bgleonard ,

Complex, featureful, deep food list

Doesn't follow the typical Apple iOS guidelines so it's a little bit odd looking/feeling. Lots of buttons and confusing layouts. Don't like switching between diet and exercise calendars. The calorie tracker doesn't calculate what I think my RDI is. Ad's are annoying. Online sync is cool but not great. Love the huge online DB of foods. Barcode scanner is a great feature but it crashes the application! LoseIt is another great free application but it's missing the barcode scanner and massive online food library.

legendarydragon ,

Mostly Great

I love the app. I enjoy the tracking. I really like that it syncs up online so my other iProducts are up to date. I like the exercises tracking. I'm bummed that the barcode scanner doesn't work for me. I just input the number by hand and all is well but it could save some time and frustration.

straightouttatheshire ,

Instrumental in my fitness

Best overall tracking app I've found. Has helped me track my daily intake/output as closely as possible for months now. It can't help you lose weight or gain size or strength by itself, but it certainly can help you keep yourself on track. Highly recommended.

Raelynn812 ,

iOS 8.0 issues

Recently updated my iPhone to the new iOS 8.0 and this app isn't working right. I love fat secret calorie counter. Have been using it for over 2-1/2 years. I have tried deleting it and downloading it again on my phone but it seems to be hanging up on some of the screens. Please help fix it, I don't want to switch to another program.

LBTeddy ,

Great app

Keeping tract of daily intake of sodium, fat, carbs and calories for health reasons has never been easier. Love this app! Very easy to look up foods, find specific items or even add foods and recipes. This app includes brand name items and restaurant menu items. Can also tract exercise and weight. I highly recommend it!

Teresarun ,

Best food tracking ap!

As a health and fitness blogger, I'm asked frequently which is the best al for food tracking and it is BY FAR this one! Amazing database, so intuitive, easy and provides macronutrient analysis on the site and it has a great professional model if you're working 1:1 with clients. I have no idea how it is free, but I'm so glad it is!! I tell everybody!

Ldybgsgma99 ,

Recommend to everyone!!

I have tried a lot of different weight loss apps and I have to say this one is the best by far. It is easy to use, easy to understand, and I love the fact that you have the entire Fat Secret community to cheer you on and support you. I highly recommend this app. It works!!

Cdnorris ,

New to app but so far I am happy

Ok I have only been using one week but everything seems easy to navigate. I am sure I will continue to finds more tools to help me make good food choices with this app. After first week using this app with its RDI appearing very generous compared to WW. I have lost 2 lbs. I hope that I can continue eating healthy portions and make it a habit towards a healthier life.

Casa de Backes ,

Best out there!

I've tried several calorie counting apps and this one is far better than any of the others by far. It is easy to use, the barcode scanner is so convenient and the amount of food already in the system is amazing. Love this app and highly recommend it!

Congressta ,

Simple

Very good app. Keeps track of your calorie, carb, fat, and protein intake. The barcode feature makes this a fast and easy way to keep track of the food you eat without having to take an hour to find it in a library of similar items.

I will give this app 5 stars when they start keeping track of your daily vitamin/mineral intake.

KmayWebs ,

LOVE this app!

I absolutely LOVE this app! I've had a hard time losing weight but from the first day I started using this app I saw improvement. It's easy to use and does all the calculating for you. It's so much easier sticking to this plan when you can see your improvement on your Weight History.

georgegligor3009 ,

Excellent app

Great app for tracking your food intake and specially if you want to watch your micros. I love the fact that it brakes down everything. The only thing in think would be great when breaking things down, would be the "Sugars" or "Sodium" cuz when you train for specific goals would help a lot.

Bonniesac ,

Tried several, this is the best

I can weigh in, I can plan my days meals, I can check my calories, carbs and fiber in and out for exercise calories and I can use it on the go and at the market.

Been using it for years.

Just wish it was called fit secret instead of fat secret. I've lost 50 pounds with it.

Cat_22nm ,

Great but needs update

I like this tracking app much more than any other except I would LOVE to be able to change the meal names and number of meals like mymacros app. Being able to name them meal 1, meal 2 and so forth instead of breakfast, lunch etc and controlling the number of meals would make send and separating info out for my coach A LOT easier. PLEASE add this and update

KTM#4 ,

Easy to use

A very helpful app. The food database is large and frequent used home made meals can easily be saved for future use. Exercise and a graphic display of daily basic nutrition are included, also. Over the past several years, I have found this to be very useful.

DRC1984 ,

No ads like Lose It!

"Lose it" just added ads to their free version and I hate ads. If I could pay $10 to remove adds permanently I would've done that with no issues. I like how simple the layout is in this app and no ads on the free version! I would recommend to anyone.

Wheedling ,

Really impressed with improvements

I used this app about two years ago, and recently came back to it. The improvements are really impressive! I love the macro tabs and the easy barcode food add.

Easy to use interface and "recently eaten" make keeping track of your food a snap!

Bannhut ,

Great for tracking food intake

This is an excellent app! You must be very honest with yourself and record everything you put in your mouth. You are able to adjust your eating habits accordingly to achieve weight loss. I would like the app to include daily water consumption to keep you on target too. 👍🏽

thisoftired ,

Love this app!

This is a great app for weight loss and overall health. I can watch my carbs on each item along with calories. Plus, it has many items from frequented restaurants and even specific items to my grocery store. Also the exercise tracker is great. Very easy to get hooked on!

Sojisoulja ,

Who cares about point system

This app seems awesome. I really like the barcode scanner which also allows manual input. Plus it's free!


If your so set on the point system I'm sure you people can look up how to calculate points from calories...stop being stubborn/lazy. I think this app would help anyone out.

Cheerrie ,

The barcode scanner does not work... But I love this app!

It does absolutely everything else flawlessly. This app is awesome, and worth a small fee. Only downside is that the barcode scanner won't work. Nothing happens at all when I try to scan. Manual input works fine, but I would live to save the time.


Looking forward to an upgrade soon.

DrewDrums4Him ,

Has way more options than I even use it for

I mostly use it to monitor my weight changes and look up nutrition information of random foods. But their recipes are good too, and the app is quite nicely designed. I haven't even begun to use it to it's full potential.

Daxonthatrax ,

Great for weight loss!

I lost 33 lbs in 4 months simply tracking every food I put into my body. I did ZERO exercise. I highly recommend exercise but I swear 80% of the battle is what you put in your body. I'm now back to lifting weights to gain muscle which will help maintain my body weight. Great app to keep you motivated and on track!

Southernldy ,

Love It

I've been using the website for years and the app for a few months. The app really helps with my busy lifestyle and automatically syncs to the website, which I so appreciate. I love the fact that I can track net carbs and other nutritional values that are important to me. Plus the food database is awesome!

Adventure Rider 29 ,

Awesome App for diets or Diabetics

I have watched my intake since being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I used this app daily and it's just fantastic, counting calories and cut Carbs. Also it helps you track your weight and I will tell you it works! I recommend this app to all either medically dieting or just shedding a few pounds.

Jessnalex811 ,

Great app

I love this app it has helped me slowly progress into a better change in my diet instead of being in a diet I'm making it a lifestyle and I'm loving how easy this app is making it for me! There still might be some updating that can be done with the food choices but over all I Love It!

Love it!

Best app for tracking calories, fat, sugar, cholesterol, etc. Easy to use. Easy to find most food available in stores and restaurants. Very adaptable to portions. Easy to add your own recipes, too. Loads of other recipes submitted by other users, too. Especially helpful with the Ketogenic method of weight loss!!!

GunDan0083 ,

Fit, (sorta) fast

This app has helped me a great deal with regard to my general fitness. It's easy to see set goals, and see your macros. But it's not perfect: I think it's a few too many clicks to get to your saved meals, and the app is flat out wrong about some of it's nutritional info(plain brown rice does not have 400mg of sodium!). But all in all, it gets the job done, and well.

BethaBabe ,

A great app! Very user friendly

I highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to lose or monitor their weight. It's simple and allows you to set and monitor your goals, watch percentages of food groups eaten and track essential nutrients. You'll find any food item you're looking for.

Keeps locking up and closing

It worked beautifully for 2 weeks then it appeared the ads wouldn't load at the bottom, so it will freeze up and close out of the ap. I deleted and reinstalled, & it worked for another day, but then started freezing up again. Also, resets some parameters when i am entering "custom" exercise and food. Extremely useful when it did work.

Keedybooboo ,

Changes

The app will not let you change a meal from one day to the next and it was better when you could move things around through the meals and also not being able to see what you have for lunch to use it for breakfast or dinner makes it complicated also

Froggychk ,

Love it

Love how you can track everything. The way it displays it all. The only reason I gave it 4 stars because there is not enough tracking for the fitness. Like it doesn't even have logs for push ups. Other than that it's way better than the other apps. Love also you can make groups and challenges.

CourtneyB23 ,

Amazing App

I am in love this app. I love how it takes all of my intake and breaks it down so I can see my macros. It's super easy to use and navigate. The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is that for some of the restaurant items you can't go in and take out things you excluded to show your true caloric intake. Other than that this app is awesome.

Kitty-t ,

Simple to use

I used the website before I had a smart phone years ago. There's just something about the simplicity of this app & website that kept me using it. I like how I can display the net carbs which is great for people counting carbs but get tired of subtracting fiber from the amount.

BestMeasures ,

Ms.

I love this ap! It is very easy to use and rewarding as it allows you to weigh in whenever you want, tracks your foods and I love the graph that shows how you have portioned out your day.!

I have been using off and on for months and it's user friendly for even the most timid computer user.

Jdkdbchx ,

I love this app!!

It is so easy to journal your diet, keep track of your exercise, and your weight with this app. I've already lost 14 pounds with its help! I would say that you need to calculate your own calories based on what you want to lose. It seems like the app gives way too many.

kpvs12345 ,

Keeps me accountable

Having a daily budget of calories (calculated for me based on my physiology and my goals) is helping me plan meals better. Most of the foods I eat are in the database, which is nice, and if they're not, I can input my own data. So far, I'm on track with reaching my goal and seeing that keeps me motivated to continue making healthy choices.

msfergie5538 ,

Updates

I started this program a few months ago and quit. No reason other than off track. Started again this week and love the updates! Much easier to use! Gonna stick with it this time!

LennyGB53 ,

Weight Loss Buddy

I have appreciated the help and guidance Fat Secret has given me for years. Most foods are listed regardless of where you got them. If not you can add them easily. I also like the category lists such as favorites, most often eaten, recently eaten and search with four sub categories.

meg9075 ,

Greatest app for self control!

I love this app! ESP now that there is a barcode scanner. This app makes me want to buy an iphone for my weight tortured mother. And it's free!?!!!!?!?!!! Waaaaahhh? ;)


My only beef would be the exercise diary. I feel like there aren't enough actvities and would like to see how the calories burned are calculated.


Best free app I currently have.

california red dog ,

Pls fix these bugs!

App has numerous bugs but could be great. Bugs include no way to completely remove an exercise from a given day. Calculation errors (hrs calc) occur when updating an exercise activity. Needs ability to set # calories per day based on weight loss plan and then graphically monitor progress. Could be a great app but just not there yet! Pray that they read this and make updates soon!

Jyoung_2009 ,

Great app!!!!

Counts your calories perfectly. I lost weight instantly when I started using this app and working out consistently. It would be awesome if the "scan barcode" option would actually work, but typing in the barcode pulls up the item just the same! Great app!!!

robzooka ,

How it helped me

As a male, 5'8", it helped me lose weight from 208lbs to 166. I feel fantasic. Its all about what you do for yourself and input it into this app. It doesnt do the work for you, except calculate your results. I would have given this 5 starts, except the newest version threw me off and I find it more confusing now. I liked what I was used to.

David Finni ,

Cannot edit exercise

A pop up reads "Can not exercise" when I hit add on my iPhone 6. I'll give it 5 stars if this is fixed because this app is useless right now and I used to use it with my GS4

-Update-

They fixed the interface and I can add and edit exercises easily! Good job guys! 👍

Sdmlbgirl ,

Best of the Bunch

I have tried a few calorie counting apps (myfitnesspal, Fitbit, etc.) and in my opinion this is the best of the bunch.


Easy to use, easy to use online, and I love the features that allows me to export my log each day and email it straight to my trainer - right from my phone.


Only complaint I have is that sometimes the syncing between online and app is glitchy. But it's a minor nuisance that doesn't happen every time.


I'd also love you see you be able to sync with the Fitbit app so all of my info were in one place.


All in all, very happy. As I mentioned, I've tried others and keep coming back to fat secret.

jojoinHB ,

Great Tool -Fun

Found this app after reading reviews and trying several others. This one is easy to use, has a large food database. I am losing weight by tracking my food choice good and bad. Not 5 stars because 1 frequent no network 2 unable to edit journal notes on weigh in and 3 lbs to go is zero. Little 'bugs, but app very useable.

Carolinainthenighttime ,

Carol

Super easy to use. I had another food tracker app and had to delete it because it was too difficult for me to use. I use this app every day. Can't beat the price (free, with no ads). I credit this app and my dietician with helping me be so successful in losing weight and becoming healthier.

LeonSzeto ,

Great app for tracking weight and macros

This UI for this app is much cleaner and easier to use than MyFitnessPal. The information seems to be much more accurate for foods. No ads or any annoying pop ups! Awesome app for tracking all your macros and weight. Highly recommended!

Mutagious ,

"The Secret"

This app has really helped me lose weight fast by monitoring my daily carb intake and other numbers. The holy grail of weight loss and getting in shape is 80/20. This app makes the 80 a breeze. You quickly start making better meal choices to keep your numbers in range. Thanks fat secret!!!

reaganb13 ,

Love! More Restaurant Options!

I love this app. It has truly redefined how I look at food and weight loss. I am keep up with my log every day and I have seen amazing changes! I would like to see more restaurants represented. I like keeping track of even cheat meals and usually that is my frozen yogurt ;) Menchie's would be really great to add to the Chains list! Amazing app! I love it!

Devahmusic ,

Almost perfect

This is the best weight and diet tracking app available. The only thing that could be better is having more foods available to add to daily intake. I do appreciate that I can add foods but this would not be possible if I were busier. This is still the most beneficial and comprehensive diet tracking app and I plan to keep with it!

Willllwie ,

Lost 13 lbs in a month

This is a very helpful app. I started using it to see why I was not losing weight. I faithfully entered diet and exercise. 30 days later I had lost13 pounds. Easy to use and many of the foods I eat are already in the library. Love it. Way more intuitive than my fitness pal.

Mommalisa17 ,

Glitchy

Won't let me restart from another weight after 'falling of the diet wagon' which was annoying. Support says "we can delete all your data so you can start over" ... Uh, yeah, no thanks. Want to keep my data, just want it to be right.


And now it glitches out, can't delete entries that the app is duplicating.


I have been using this app religiously for the last six weeks. Think I have had enough...looking for an alternative now.

RvaKatie ,

So easy to use

You can save meals that you eat more often, and a lot of things already come up with a barcode. It's been weeks and I haven't gotten tired of entering everything I consume yet because it's not a headache to do it. Love this. It's been extremely helpful.

Namaste Ubuntu ,

Works great!

I exceeded my weight loss goal and lost 5.6 lbs in two months using Fat Secret. I'll continue to use for some additional weight loss and I really enjoy how much more mindful I am about what I eat. I find the app easy to use and I really like the calendar and calorie average features.

Madchad6969 ,

Very Useful

I just started counting my macros, I tried doing so on my note pad and just doing my best at calculating it. This app simplifies the process. Using this app I have lost 16pds and I'm still losing because I am able to keep track of everything I have taken in. Thank you!

CrittersMama ,

LOVE FATSECRET APP!

This app has helped me lose 22 lbs. I use it faithfully daily. It is so nice to be able to plug in a food, and it is almost always already listed in the program. I also love the Recently Eaten Foods (list that I eat frequently). I now have the app loaded on my iPhone, iPad & laptop. It syncs everything between the 3.

Planet Lewison ,

My go-to

I've used FatSecret for years. It's my go to when I want to track food and exercise. I love the app and the website. It integrates with my Health app on my iPhone, which is great.

Highly flexible and the more you use it, the more it creates an inventory of your meals and foods specific to you.

Jstafford89 ,

Almost perfect diet log!

Great app! Really functions well with a nice and clean layout. The food is easy to look up and add, and the breakdown of different many different stats really helps to keep dieting on point. If only it could track more vitamins and minerals... (future update maybe??)

Mdamont ,

LOVE IT!!!!!

Was using Lose It and I was having to enter alot of the foods into the app. Deleted that app when I found this one. This app has more in it's database than any other app I have looked at. You do have to have more than just calories when entering a new food but it is not hard to find.


This is truly the best calorie counting app there is!!!

Gavkamal ,

Love it!!!!

Love this app! I can plan a whole day and know where I am for calories and makes me more accountable. Also by having my meals planned out, I avoid making poor choices! Love the barcode scan option and also the variety of recipes. Highly recommend it!

RickM837 ,

Best app for bulking/cutting

My workouts were always in place. Keeping in track of calories was hard until I came across this app. Definitely the best download. Has all the foods, from restaurants to create your own. A must have for goals with serious fitness!

QueenRach ,

Yes!

I really enjoy this app, the features are great. I think some notifications to remind me to enter my food would be helpful, I am terrible at remembering. Also, the app crashes sometimes which bothers me, but I really do like how the app works if it was smooth running every time.

heyladybug ,

Love this App

This app has a lot of the local restaurants which is very helpful. One thing that I would love to see soon is the ability to enter a custom calorie number for food that the app doesn't have. That way I can look it up somewhere else and enter it into the app so that I can still keep track of my day.

jghent54 ,

Easy to use! Lost over 20 lbs so far.

This app is very easy to navigate. I like the functionality of it. Inputting multiple food items is a breeze. Allows me to keep track of calories, exercise, and see with the monthly calendar how I'm doing. Thank you.

_shadowylady_ ,

Better than fitness pal!!

Very accurate and thorough. Makes it easy to track your macros based on your specific diet needs and goals. Doesn't sync up with Apple Watch activity but can easily be logged in manually. Still a very enthusiastic five stars!

Ambs 01 25 ,

Amazingly Effective

Tracks foods and progress easily without needing to pay for upgrade. Easy to use and includes a database of many foods and brands you would normally eat. Anything else needed you can add yourself and it only takes a minute or two.

peach boy ,

It has a macro counter!!

Love this app!! So easy to use, navigate, and adjust. I love that you can watch your macros bc I'm carb cycling. You can even adjust your daily levels of protein, fat, and carbs. I love the layout and it has a zillion foods. Not sure about international fruits and veggies, but its ever-expanding! Get it!! Use it! Love your body!

Ironmanlou ,

Really Helping

Keeping me disciplined and honest. Had a binge and after I saw how many calories I had just done it will help me stay strong next time. I wish it had a favorites section that I could store items I eat every day is all I would add. Highly recommended.

 ,

Love it

I love this app. I track everything including my water intake. I ignore the ads at the bottom, but it really shouldn't be political ads. My only problem is I can't change my goal weight. It will let you change it but won't store the change.

394mm493 ,

Great app

I've been using the website along with the mobile app for a while now. Having a quick and easy way to log my meals and my exercise has been invaluable in helping me reach my fitness goals. I would highly recommend it.

Mom teacher and wife ,

Best Weight Tracker Calorie Tracker

This is the best App that I have used to track my total health. It is visually pleasing, easy to use, has all the perks of all the apps out there wrapped neatly in one!

I love this app! Thank you for making it easy for a busy mom to take time for me and making it so simple and effective.

MontyWolfe ,

Great app but a little flawed

I love this app. It's real benefit is that it makes me aware of what I am eating. By inputting everything I eat, I have become knowledgable about which items are problem items (fried foods in particular). My only issue is with the portions. Often, the only options are in grams or some weight - and I don't have access to a food scale while I'm out and about.

Glitter freak ,

Love the community of this app

I have been using this site in general for 6 years and I love it. It is amazing to see how far they have come with their app! The community of people there are so kind and helpful. It is awesome to see my weight fluctuations and patterns between being pregnant and not.

Artist506 ,

Love this app

I was told to use this app to track protein and carbs. Didn't use it. Weight loss hit off yo slow start. Started using app and discovered high calorie intake. Tracking everything now. Weight is starting to come off. Really enjoy using it. Very easy to use.

Inervating_halo ,

Super Tracker!

Easy to use, easy to program and easy to gather information at a glance. The key features of this app is that you can program your macro intakes for the day, or judge your log by daily allotted calories. I would recommend this app over any other diet tracker!

JehyT ,

Come a long way

The app has come a long way since its inception. It has a lot of new great features and a slick new design. I think the barcode scanning feature needs more work and the "most eaten" tab generates inaccurate data. I also would like to see the data for "recently eaten" go further in the past than, say, the last 10 things documented.

KnightsSCR ,

Easy and quick

It doesn't take much effort to log what you intake daily.. the hardest part is making sure the combination of foods fit your macros! The app is helpful for tracking weight and has almost all the foods I eat on a regular basis. Even when it doesn't, it's quick to enter in the necessary nutrients.

Poshathome ,

Wonderful and helpful app

The app isn't perfect by any means but it gets the job done for me. One has to remember the purpose and intent of the app. I only wish I could monitor time of meals or have a self-set reminder. I don't want a separate app for that, but it's important for some to keep to a schedule. I love that I can keep a photo log of my intake.

Dreamgirlknows ,

NOT USER FRIENDLY!

Too Complicated, I was using "Lose It" but wanted to try another app with more features. For instance; How do I add to "Saved Meals"? I keep hitting "Save" everywhere I can, yet when I go to "Saved Meals", it's not listed! How do I copy food from my Diary, I still can't figure that one out! So dang frustrating! I wish I could see what the calories are based on what I've eaten before I save it. It's just not user friendly at all, thank goodness it was free! I give up, it's taken up too much of my time already... Too bad!!

Vugainz ,

Iphone6

New update works but it's more difficult to use. Under restaurants there's no more categories like dessert or steak or chicken etc. Under column it doesn't allow you to change rdi and calories. The old version was a lot easier to use because you could simply swipe left or right to go back a day or forward a day now you have to use some wheel to pick dates and the date on the wheel is off too...so much hope for this but was completely let down

Sandboxjunction ,

Success !

First app that has helped me lose since I've turned fifty. Easy to track calories weight and activity. Doesn't make you blow diet even if you've had your cheat. Just allow for it in your daily intake and you stay on track!

FL turbo ,

You Need Discipline

But to succeed with your goals that is what it takes. Cataloging your intake, exercise and weight will, if you are diligent, will certainly keep you aware of your progress. I can review past history record and confirm success or adjust for the future. Excellent app.

laurablicious ,

Fat Secret keeps me on track

Even a fitness professional needs a little guidance, and Fat Secret is just the right tool for me. Calories and energy expenditure are easy to track, and updates make the app more and more user friendly. I regularly recommend Fat Secrets to my clients.

Mikec2s ,

Fat secret is awesome

This app is great for tracking food intake. If you are trying to lose weight or put on lean muscle mass this is a great tool for you. It is simple to use unlike other calorie counter apps, and puts u in control of your diet. The scanner for barcodes is great and saves time searching for foods.

Ascottharris67 ,

Great App, detailed, great resources

I must maintain a food diary for health reasons. Love this program, there hasn't been a good item I couldn't find in the SEARCH. I really like this app and would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a convenient way to set goals and keep track of intake.

gamel0ver42 ,

Not quite there yet

I really like this app a lot e.g. the awesome barcode scanner that also allows number entry. There's also a few things that could be better. First the fractions list for each item needs more increments like 1/8, 1/3, 2/3 etc. Also goals for individual macronutrients, remove items from search history or clear it. The recipe description should be optional.

Jiffn ,

Great Simple App With Few Flaws

I've been using this app for years and it has been the best calorie/fitness counter I have used.

I've tired other apps but I always come back to this one.

The other apps I feel just overcomplicate things.


The only problems I've had are small things like the app not going to the right day (saying tomorrow is today) and not finding food in their database(which you can add your own food anyway if you can't find it)


Overall, if you're looking for a simple calorie/fitness counter that is strait forward and doesn't over complicate things this one is for you.

Amyhon ,

Always a Good App

I have used this app on and off for a couple of years. I have tried other apps as well and this is more intuitive. I highly recommend it if you are looking to lose weight. It really helps me to see where I am spending my calories and I can see when my ratios are off.


Great app!

Renel ,

Notes on weight tracker has bug

I use the app primarily as a daily weight tracker. Nice to be able to see progress over time. However there is a bug in the note function. Notes tend to show up as duplicates for past entries in effect wiping out old entries. Makes the notes function pretty useless. Looking for a new app with a note function that works.

Chrusso ,

Great app

My husband I have both been using this app. He loves it for traveling and choosing meals in restaurants. I find the barcode reader and the food database very helpful. We both have lost weight using this app to track our food and will continue to use it.

PhotoDan ,

Works Great for Me

I have been using the Fat Secret app on my iPhone since February and have lost 20 pounds in four months. I have discovered the recipe portion of the app and look forward to creating some great healthy meals. I told my doctor about Fat Secret and he recommended his staff check it out.

SRH Fade ,

underrated calorie counter

clean, intelligent, and no BS counter. not a lot of bells and whistles because you don't need them. missing one star because it has a chain restaurant food feature that, honestly, I never use, but it might be useful to someone else who frequents restaurants where you can build your own order.

Shindokwan ,

Love this app!

I have been using this app off and on for a few years and I love it!! I can find almost every food item I eat and if I cannot find it, they made it really easy to add new items!! Has really helped me monitor calories as well as fat carbs and protein!!

the_PVFlash ,

Really Good

This is an excellent app. Makes it very easy to track what I eat, and love that it is integrated with a desktop browser version.


A handful of improvements I'd really like to see are: 1)Easy to print day by day food reports (not all the nutrition, just the items I ate). 2)An option to skip the gazillion brand names in favor of a "typical" product- I hate having to choose among a bunch of brands when all I care about is that I ate 6 oz of deli turkey meat. Yes, I know they are all different but to me those minor differences don't matter. 3)Umm...thats all for now!


But truly a VERY HELPFUL APP!!!


Thank you Fat Secret! We've lost 12 pounds this month!!!!!

GmasAngel ,

Great App for me

We cook a lot at home, so I love that I can enter our recipes and track my daily nutrition. It's also easy to add ingredients that aren't in the database. It remembers what I ate lately, since I'm a creature of habit (when I find a recipe I like, I eat it frequently!) it makes journaling my meals a breeze!

Thorkild ,

Simple and effective

This is a great way to track macronutrients, caloric intake, and have a general idea of energy expenditure. The app is simple enough to use regularly throughout the day which is important for compliance. I would highly recommend it for any of my athletes or friends.

Lsfgma ,

Love this App

This makes being on a diet so much easier! You know exactly what your putting in your mouth and I was surprised all the Restaurants that are listed! Also the weight tracker is awesome!! Like seeing the weight come off! Thanks so much for helping me get healthy!!!

Anvil440 ,

Fat Secret is a great way to track your eating habits...

FatSecret is an effective and easy to use tool to track your eating and weight. The interface is clean and easy to navigate. FatSecret shows you your caloric intake, macros, and tracks your weight using easy to understand charts and graphs. Try it, it's free.

Poi1111111 ,

Great app

Agree needs IOS8 update ASAP. Other than that this is a great app! Has tons more foods than other databases, easy to use, has running totals at top of screen, (doing low carb so this is fab) doesn't throw in your face how much you have left to eat (which always bugged me) really happy with app. Will give 5 stars when updates for IOS

JimmySwansea ,

Fabulous

This is the easiest and most comprehensive food/calorie app I have used. It is surprising how many calories you eat unnecessarily if you don't keep track. This has helped me lose 45lbs so far, and I'm sure will help me with the last 4lbs I have left to lose. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Bkost ,

Very professional, Awesome !

I've been enjoying the app and the website for years and it only gets better. It's free but it truly is worth money and I would gladly pay for this app. It serves a real purpose for me and I expect that it will continue to do so. Well done fat secret!

Fatsecretfan ,

Mom and gymnastics coach

I have been using fat secret for over 3 months. I love it! It is so user friendly and I really believe that tracking what you eat is the big secret to weight loss and maintaining your weight. Tracking calories on your smart phone really works!

JLGCHANDLER ,

BEST App! Love it!

I have had several apps, paid and free, to count my carbs and this app is, by far, the best and easiest to use. Food and restaurant database is huge, and I love that it has a scanner. My only suggestions would be to add a carb limit (unless I'm just not finding where). Awesome support too!

RIPin@ ,

Very useful app

It's really help people to become more healthy and stronger. There are some issues with iOS and Web apps such as you cannot copy food from previous day on today. iOS app loose stops normally working when internet connection lost. But still this is great app and service

Tom Chaffin ,

Diabetes help

Been using app for 2 weeks, has been great for my diabetes. My A1C has dropped from 7.6 to 6.7 in 14 days. It gives you an immediate reading of number of carbs consumed for each meal which is vital in insulin injection. App is easy to use and works great with the Heart app on iPhone.

AngryBowler ,

Really Helpful App

This app as been really helpful in tracking my food. It's has made me think twice about some of my food options. I find my self looking up some foods before I order so I will know about the calories and the sugar content.

Smagarni1 ,

It really helps A LOT

This app has seriously helped me a lot with my fitness journey. I highly highly recommend it. I'd say figure out your macros first though, then use the app to help on the log of your diet. The app was a bit off with my macros just based on my height and weight.

Necrotix ,

Awesome!

Way better than any paid app I've found. Far easier to put in a bunch of food at once to make a meal. When adding food, to scan barcodes, there's a camera icon at the bottom center. I didn't notice it initially. Fantastic app!

Miss Joey ,

The Best

I had this on Droid and was looking for something similar on iPhone but luckily for me, the same app exists. It's just as good, if not better. Get some! Can be used for fitness tracking but super user friendly for looking up nutritional facts on just about anything!

MSUfefe ,

Good program

I use WW and when comparing points with calorie intake I can see when some meals are too high in fat, etc. An addition of nutrient balance for ratios of carbs, fat, and protein would be beneficial to keep on track without having to use another program to calculate points. Other than that it's a good program.

Jonbru ,

Crashing

I used this on my droid, and my jailbroken 4s. Recently began crashing almost everytime I try to scan a barcode. Also, when trying to add food, some of the menu selections are too close together (such as search, recently eaten, and most eaten) making it very difficult to select that item.


Overall, I like the app, but it has some functional difficulties. 5 stars if these can be fixed.

OBfit ,

The most simplistic, effective app

This app is excellent in not only keeping track of caloric intake and daily physical activity, but also very easy in keeping track of macronutrient intake (protein, carbs, fat), including the very important fiber.

This app, IMO, is the best for "flexible dieters" - those keeping track of macros.

2 thumbs up!

NayB8582 ,

Glitchy, does not work well

The app has a lot of good food data to select from but there are some problems with it. When I change the quantity of the food selected the app just closes itself. It times out a lot in the middle of searches and the barcode scanner doesn't work very well. Also, it has not been adding the calories up properly. When I open each food item the calories listed are correct but the total is incorrect.

seventyone 13 ,

Easiest way to track calories

Using this app makes it super easy to track all the calories coming in and going out... This has been the easiest way for me to lose the extra weight and maintain my goal weight. 5 stars...!!!!

Poetaypianista ,

Needs Water counter

Excellent calorie counter, but I wish I always had access to my saved meals, regardless of time passed or if saved as a breakfast, lunch or dinner meals. Too, and this is a big one, it needs a water counter. I must make sure I drink my 8 glasses of water a day, and this app. doesn't help me with that. Otherwise, really love it.

Duo addict ,

Fat (no) secret!

Got to love Fat Secret! It is the easiest food journal I have ever used. It keeps me accountable and for me removes the feeling of deprivation. I eat every kind of food and keep portions in check. When I reach my daily calorie limit I just stop eating! Of course it requires a little common sense.

chibiuniverse7 ,

Excellent diet Tracker

Really enjoy this app as it has one of the best data bases and makes it's easy to search and the track food. Easy to use interface, my wish list would be an easier way to update your goals

Mister2005 ,

Exacly what you are looking for.

Only changes I would need right now is a less detailed list of food consumed today. And I would ask for a larger font change where you put the weight or Count of this serving

Mysticd ,

Awesome App!

My mom and I both are using this app and we've both lost over 50 pounds combined. This app will scan the barcode and will enter it into your daily journal. That is awesome. It also has popular restaurant nutrition guides and a weight tracker. I absolutely recommend it. There's nothing about this app that I don't like.

Bebe sport ,

My favorite app!

I have been using fatsecret for over a year and can't live without it. It has been such a powerful tool in me reaching my fitness goals. Keeping track of what you consume as well as your daily activity forces you to make wiser choices. It's a very user friendly app and give it a thumbs up!

Lhiner4 ,

Solid & Innovative

I've had this app for a long time by different past names and on different devices. Always current and user friendly.


Thank you for not having those stupid pop-up "rate us" requests. As a rule, I rate those 1 star for UX. ;)


Great work!

MBR45 ,

Great app

I love this app. It's easy to use and you can create custom food entries for homemade meals. I love the display in the food entry portion showing protein, fat, carbs. I don't use any of the social stuff right now just the food entry, weight tracker, and exercise pages! Highly recommend this app

Mscogna4 ,

Quick & Simple

I have used other apps and this is still my favorite! It has a great variety of foods, simple portion sizes and it is easy to track favorite foods snd meals. It is also easy to log your exercise and weight. The price is right too.

Drshivers2b ,

Mrs

I have used this now for several years and it's great! Can track exercise, dietary intake, etc and it gives you back quite a bit of data and trending ability. The fatsecret community forums are wonderful and supportive; I've never seen anyone be dramatic or snippy. I recommend this to my friends all the time.

Drwhyly ,

Excellent

Great and useful! I used it on ad aily basis, all day and every day! It needs update from time to time, especially supplements, for instance, Iso Lea Pro by Labrada not available in App, which you can add by yourself , and what I like most about this app. All in all, it works fine I use daily!!

DrKSP ,

❤️ it!

I have never been a calorie counter but after 2 kids and almost 40, I needed to start. This app is great. Has lots of options, brands, already listed but adding homemade recipes or new items is easy too. Really liking it!!

Gardeningfan ,

Unhappy with recent update

Please remove photos of other users food that appear when the app is opened. I've used this app for years and love it however after the recent update, now photos of food posted by other users appear when the app is opened. As a struggling dieter, I have no desire to see pictures of other users food.

Ashabooblie ,

Love for years

I've been using this app for a few years now and they have only gotten better. Love the option to scan UPC codes and occasionally use recipes that always come out great!

I've been in love with this app for years!

3amigos@ ,

Less then 24hrs in.

It has just turned off, twice, in the middle of entering a meal, and didn't save any of it. This morning it will only let me put in 4 items for breakfast, and in exercise it recorded a different activity, and I couldn't change it back.

I do love the scanner though, it's awesome, and seams to work great! There's a few things I haven't figured out yet. If I can get it all working, I think it will be a great app!

Edistojan ,

Mrs

I absolutely love this app however it won't track my weight loss on my iphone 4s nor will it calculate calories used in exercise since it won't accept the weight I put in. It also would be nice to be able to assemble a favorite recipe list. Other than these issues a fantastic app.

musiclova21 ,

Suggestions?

I love this app! It is easy to work with and I like how it is organized. I wish we could add a few things, for example: a spot for just water we drink during the day, a slot to make a list of medicine we take during the day, and a spot just for notes (how we felt that day, etc)

Kmett ,

Best food list around

I have been using this app since July and it has so many foods already in it's database. With the exception of some crashes, I haven't had issues with it.


I do wish the exercise was easier to manage and I really wish I could export some recipes. Thus I took away one star.

xuyang.j ,

Bug with RDI function

It doesn't seem to take target weight into consideration. Plus, the current weight changes right after it is saved. (an automatic increase of .7 pound)


With some type of food, the unit only allows for ounces or cups, when I actually need a lb option. (Ex. Salmon)


Other than these, very nice app!

hentaibih ,

Thank you so much!!!

Currently this app is helping me track and of I eat and how much I eat, and helps me not to go above my calorie count. The results are magical and its exciting know the each time I open this app, I'm coming closer and closer to my goal. Definitely 5 stars.

LisaKay1964 ,

Works well

I've used this app for 4 years now and it has some functionality that I really like. The ability to reset calorie budget when weight changes is a plus. It seems like some types of exercise aren't in the app anymore like various speeds of walking but I improvise.

Duncs S ,

Pretty straightforward and easy to use

I have enjoyed this application for tracking calories consumed daily and also for exercise. The database of food items is fairly extensive and rarely have to search elsewhere

Averee Lou ,

Love it! Great app!

Has lots of great features from a huge list of restaurants and restaurant items to the ability to track your weight and exercise routine. No bugs and doesn't crash, no annoying ads, best app on the market!

rshinds0123 ,

Helped me track diet daily!

Easy to use and can't beat the price! Helped me track my diet all the way down to nutrients. The reports are great too. Really kept me on track each and every day for the last 45 days. Great app for those on strict diet.

Gundlach Girl ,

Wish List

I wish you could select multiple items from a restaurant at once, instead of having to Save each item and start over. Am I missing something? Otherwise, I love it!

Missmelipie ,

Love this app

5 stars! The only thing I would like is to be able to pull different meals from different areas. Like take my breakfast and add all that to my dinner.. Sometimes you like breakfast for dinner. Or take one of my snacks and put that into lunch. Anyway, still love it!

Thejayman1048 ,

It really works

I discovered the app on August 15 and weighed 255. It's now September 25th an this morning I weighed in at 226.6. The best part is I have had fun and have not been hungry at all. My goal is robe under 200 by if November and it this pace it seems that is going to happen!! What else do I need to say?

MotorboatJones ,

Great app, missing only 1 feature

I really love this app. It is so much better than other tracking apps. I only wish you could edit some meals.


For example, the Costco chicken Caesar salad. I eat this without croutons. There is an entry without dressing but not without croutons and I am unable to make the edit.

Good game.,! ,

Love this app

Use it all the time to track specific foods and calories. Like the ability to scroll and change amounts eaten & times for types of workouts. Keeps me disciplined to the end goal and already seeing results.

A.J. Cav ,

Love this app.

I have downloaded and tried quite a few apps. This one is perfect for me. It's clean design keeps things super simple to read and comprehend my macros. I regained control from a weight loss stall and use it everyday now. Recommend it highly.

djc0 ,

Pretty good

A recommendation: Can exercises be factored into the daily RDI? If I run and burn 600 calories, then really I have my RDI+600 calories to eat that day to maintain my weight/calorie goal. Otherwise RDI is a bit useless when you exercise a lot, unless you're happy to abandon the exact and work with averages. Or have to keep doing the math in your head.

Mama Bear Dearest ,

Great!

I tried using MyFitnessPal to track my macros because I recently started a ketogenic diet. For some reason, it wasn't letting search the database for food. It was way more confusing to use than I remember. So I discovered Fat Secret, and I love it! It's easier to use in my opinion, and I can customize everything.

Jazzyfizzle1996 ,

Perfect

Calorie counting doesn't work for everyone, but it's helped me so much. This app is free and perfect for keeping track of calorie intake and burn, as well as macro and micronutrients. It's taken me time to get used to just a different lifestyle, but have lost 10 pounds and counting with this app.

Will 1970 ,

Makes it easy

Having so many foods in its database really makes it easy to enter calorie information. The barcode reader makes it so very simple when cooking at home. Almost addictive to use. Highly recommended.

Peachymom28 ,

Great app it should be the only one listed

This is the best app by far. It does have a glitch where it closes for no reason. Still it beats the other 8 I tried. I even tried the nutrisystem app and a pay app. This one is much better and free!

Veldy ,

Same bugs still exist latest version

***I keep reporting and they keep leaving the bug.*** Using another app pal.


If a user enters "other" exercise, the description and calories burned fields fail to stick and are deleted when another field is selected for entry. Since both are required, the entry cannot be saved. This is particularly troublesome for targeted exercise using a HRM and not using the generalized preloaded categories.

HoosierMommy22 ,

Meh...

I like the app for what it is but there's nothing to set it apart. I am looking for a paid app with more advanced features.


This app crashes every time I try to use the scanner, which defeats the purpose of having a scanner. Also you can't use the arrows to change dates from within the food menu like you used to - you have to navigate back to the My Summary page, which is a pain!

phunkin ,

The best by far!

This app is absolutely the best calorie counting app available. I have tried so many, but this one is the most comprehensive. It helped me reach my goal of losing 130 lbs in 11 months, now it's helping me to maintain a healthy weight. Thank you Fat Secret for helping save my life.

Dlinds87 ,

Great way to lost weight!

I've been using this app for years. It helped me get to my goal weight and keep it off. The ease of scanning barcodes, tracking exercise, and the integration with HealthKit is great. It's definitely a must have app for those who are health conscious.

SamanthaGoodwin219 ,

It's my favorite

I've went through many many apps trying to find help on counting carbs and this app is by far the best. It has every restaurant and food brand you can imagine... Makes type one diabetes a little more simpler.

Afhog ,

Use it everyday

I use fatsecret everyday to track my macros. It does a great job with a ton of foods in the database and if a food isn't in it I can add it myself. This food log has helped me lose 20 lbs of fat, keep it off, and change my lifestyle to eating more healthy!

clareg123 ,

Saved all my info from 2009!

I fell off the food diary bandwagon about two years ago and went back to Fat Secret last week. And all my info and foods and exercise were still there! This has saved me a lot of time and typing. LOVE THIS APP

RONWILL4 ,

My go to app!!

I've been using this app for years. Originally started using it to track my daily carbohydrate intake. It turned into my diet conscious, if I didn't want to log it, I didn't eat it... I still use it to stay on track.

Dallas Richter ,

Easy to use!

Better than MFP (in my opinion) I'm actually able to calculate my macros freely. If I'm losing or gaining I can adjust the numbers on the fly without paying for a premium fee like my fitness pal. It's the small things that make a difference guys!

PA Man ,

Very good app

There was a date problem however the latest update I downloaded 01/08, have solved the problem.


So now it is an excellent program to keep track of your diet and excersize.


If you are on an iPod and does not have the wifi access then all of a sudden the program becomes useless ( like many others ). I suggest them to add at least a limited database (restaruant menues etc) so that program can be used on the road too


Still excellent app if you have iPhone or web access on your iPod.

MyReview78 ,

Love it!

I cook Puertorican food all the time and I love how you have calorie info for many of the dishes that I eat! I love how this app doesn't single out people who actually cook. (Other apps list only foods from restaurants or microwavable brands.) Great job guys!!! 10 stars hands down! =}

SharonKN ,

I don't like this app.

This sounds like a great app, but they are too controlling for my tastes. Today I had chicken salad for lunch. It's not in the database and I can't add it. It seems that you have to submit foods to the group and have them approved. This is not the kind of app I want. So I'm deleting it. Dictating what foods I can eat and can't eat and having to have someone's approval is ridiculous.

gmljr ,

Fat secret calorie counter

Love this app. It's been a key tool in my successful weight loss of 22 lbs. if you're starting a weight loss plan, congrats! Hang in there and know it takes time. Do little things every day and lose it the right way, you'll feel great!

Sookeesook ,

Best calorie tracker for free

I get a discount with weight watchers but this app is better and free. My main focus is keeping calories down. This pinpoints every detail of my day. Like the journal part to look back. Links to apple health app. Only thing is probably the name with the word fat.

CShell7568 ,

Great app

I love this app. Used it for a long time... Fell off the wagon with it a couple years ago but after finding all the weight I had once lost, began using it again.


Much better now... I rarely have to create a food item.

Lynn333333333 ,

Super easy and effective

I love how I can choose which micro or macro nutrients I want to focus on while not being overwhelmed with a lot of information. I've enjoyed using this app for the last month. Not going to use anything else.

Carissa C ,

Easy to use and keeps me honest!

I've tried a ton of other calorie trackers and I love this one the best! With the others, I felt like I was cheating myself with my calories and "burning" them, but this one has been keeping me honest. I love the grid because it's a good visual!

Nenaaaaaa1 ,

Awesome!!

This app blows my fitness pal. out of the water. I like how you can actually see the total macro count up at the top of each meal and don't have to go back and forth with the calculator. Deleted my fitness pal as soon as I started using this! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Zack Betz ,

Quality app

I switched to this app from MyFitnessPal.


It's great. Slick UI. Clear and concise metrics. Easy to log weight and food. The food database is large and of good quality. I'm currently using this app to bulk (gaining 0.5 lbs/week). Also the TDEE calculator looks to give accurate numbers.

Mjcolorado ,

Love this app!

This app has a better database then any other app. This app can be tailored to whatever kind of eating regimen you want. Only a few things would make this app 5 stars. Having a favorite foods, it does crash sometimes, and I'm unsure about a recipe builder. Keep up the great work and thank you that it's FREE!

Meme x 3 ,

Nice!!!

Love this app...would be a 5 star app if it had a recipe folder. Hate having to search over and over for the recipes I find and want to make later. Would also be great if you could track your water intake. Fix these issues and this app would be top notch!!! Thanks.

Flip Flop Lady ,

Recipes

How about having a category for vegetarians! Even when I look at your "vegetable" category, many of the recipes call for meat. Thanks. Other than that, great app, but I would rather have NO space taken up for recipes than have these non-vegetarian friendly ones .

Sissy Boom Boom ,

Convert from SBD app

A solid app (not repeatedly buggy). No constant requests to purchase a membership. The the fat/carb/prot percents and graph are very useful. The food database covers most of what I eat. Easy to add new foods. Have yet to work the recipe function. In sum: it works really well for managing effort to be healthier.

Nah so so x ,

Great useful app

I love the way you can track your progress in all kinds of ways. You can check it on any of your devices and you can do and follow up on whatever diet or regimen you care to follow. Very practical and unobtrusive

Lmdjicjkdjxhhdnnbd ,

Horrible

The Good:

-The layout is great. It lays everything out very plain and simple.


The Bad:

-This app crashed every single time I tried to add a new product.

-It continues to deny me access to my account. It will either say "Email address already in use" (duh, I know.) or "log in failed". So I reset my password-enter the new one-"Log in failed."


So sick of this. I've lost 15 pounds during the time I've been using this app (w/o an account), but now that I have a new phone my information wont transfer unless I sync it with an account. Which like I've said it wont do.

Just annoying because half the fun of this thing is being able to look back at all the progress I've made.

Rinapop ,

Love this app

I really recommend this app to someone who wants to loose weight!!! This is very easy to use, has a lot of options asp if you like to control the portions, I found everything that I eat a day, shows % of fat and carbs, love it!

Rebekah75 ,

Great

I really like the reports you can print from this app. The fact that you can also invite your dietitian, nutritionist or wellness coach to view your journal is very helpful when you are participating in a weight loss program.

rlangson ,

Very easy

This app has made it very enjoyable to track my calories. It took one day to adjust to understanding how to enter everything then after that it has become rote. Thank you guys for making this app.

Blueskies520 ,

Works well for me!

This app works well for me, it's easy to customize, add exercise and it has a ton of restaurants. Plus if you're eating your macros it adds up every meal for you and gives you a percentage break down.

Jill457 ,

Wish I Could Still Use It

I used to love this app, until it started crashing all the time. Now you have to wait for the ads to load before you do anything, and they load so sloooooooow, I've finally given up. I don't use the app any more and am looking for a replacement. Too bad, because it has a lot of great features.

Holte Ender ,

A well designed iPhone app

As an intermittent user of the website I can appreciate the thoughtful design of this app. It is much easier to use than the website making it childs play to track calories Nice job guys!!

DJ Flava ,

Barcode Scanner Not Working

The scanner has only worked once for me, which is extremely frustrating... The saving grace is that if I can't scan, I can punch in the barcode -- w/out that option, I'd delete this in a heartbeat. I like the look of many other similar apps much more, but the other apps with scanners all seem to cost money to use in the same way I can use this app.

Kira7230 ,

just one thing..

Love it! Only thing is i wish i was able to see the longer descriptions.. i.e. what it considers heavy or light calithenics... it cuts off the description and apparently doesn't share the iphones capability of going into landscape mode when u turn it... but otherwise pretty groovy.

XDrewx89 ,

Pretty good app

This app is very useful and can certainly help you achieve your weight goals ( no matter what they are).


Just as a warning, some of the exercises seem to be over estimated on how many calories you burn.


Overall, not a perfect app but can be a very beneficial app if used correctly and cautiously.

Mick with Click ,

Great App with P90X

I've been using this app while doing P90X and it has been a life saver. It takes all the guess work out of calorie counting, weight tracking and keeps your work in order so you know if you're eating enough.

Fatman & Little Boy ,

Not easy to enter recipes

I'm having problems entering recipes via my iPhone 4. When I try to adjust quantities the app tries to recalculate all the necessary info, which then crashes the app. Honestly, things would be a lot easier if we can enter values via keypad. Otherwise, the app is great in helping me track my caloric intake & how much energy I burn.

Shanik128 ,

Love this app but I want more

Hello I love this app I have been using it for 4 years however I really want a water tracker or water stars or a water tank build in the app! Overall love the app very easy to use and it's fun tracking everything it's really helpful!

JessiL17 ,

Great app

I love this app! This food diary has helped me lose 40lbs and keep it off for a year. It's very easy to use. Unfortunately, the latest update has caused the app to "time out" several times a day for hours at a time. Please fix. I've never had a problem with this app before.

bhaird ,

Great help to focus on better eating habits

I struggle with controlling my eating. Always surprised to see how poorly I choose the food I eat. This app helps my realize exactly what I eat and makes it much easier to control. And lose weight

bfan51 ,

Nutrition Pie Chart

I just started using fatsecret calorie counter. It has almost everything I need, except a nutrition pie chart. A pie chart allows the user to view the days nutritional values at a glance, i.e. carbohydrates, fat, fiber. It should also allow user to select which nutrients to view. Please consider adding this feature.

ChrisDonBrown ,

Awesome, recommended to everyone.

I really like this app. I like the fact that it keeps track of calories, carbs, protein, and fat. It works great and is easy to use. I also use the website which works great. The barcode scan was a great addition.


I'd give it a higher rating but this latest version keeps crashing. Please fix ASAP. Thanks.

Rockstar79 ,

Love this app

I use this app multiple times a day and it is the best food tracker I've found. Other apps want you to pay $5 just for the scanner alone and this one has it included for free. The whole app is a fabulous tool!

Steph1426 ,

🌟🌟🌟

A+ app this is a Super App it really helps you keep track of every thing you eat and keep track. I wish it would have actual Excercise tapes though as energy burned. Like p90 x or 10 min trainer. That would be great and choosing intermediate, moderate or excelled

Lmkss ,

Love this!

I used to use this years ago on my blackberry and I just rediscovered it! Better than myfitnesspal and it does not minus the calories you burn on the graph so you still are aware of the calories you need to eat every day.

Sp33dy69 ,

Very impressive

I absolutely love this app! The only thing missing is the heartbeat sensor option that I have to use another app for. Highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to keep track of calories consumed/expended with ease!

Texaschika ,

Opened my eyes to how much I eat!

Within one month (with moderate exercise) I lost 10 pounds of fat! It opens your eyes to how much you actually eat on a daily basis! The app has a search engine that is wide ranged with food options! It's a great app, love it!

Corin2567 ,

Everything I was looking for

I use this to track my weight once a week. Originally I used it to track calories and everything was super simple to input and see.

Jennifer Casanova ,

It's Amazing

I love this app!! It does exactly what I want it to!!! Track my macros & it tells you how much eat food contains..If I could ask for anything it would be the choice to put your own macros in but then again this is good enough... ❤️ love it!

Quietudio ,

Great app

I truly found a very helpful way to be more aware of what I eat, how I eat and what is full of carbs or calories - it's extensive library of foods makes it easy to pick from.

It keeps me on track and keeps me pretty

Disciplined.

ksgpd22 ,

When it works, it's great!

I think this app is really great when it works. More often than not though, I get a message telling me the "network has timed out, try again later." Not handy! I think I'll keep trying a little bit longer because it really is a good app when it works, but I'm about to give up.

Donny Baseball ,

Awesome weight loss & fitness tracking program

This app is the best tool to help you track your food intake and fitness calorie burning. I lost over 30 pounds by honestly inputting my info. I have input every meal for past 5 years. Thanks!

RLG83 ,

Easy to use

I have found this app meets the many needs for accurate tracking of food intake, exercise and weight. It has a robust inventory of reference and nutritional tracking information.

SamEJH ,

Was perfect....

This app is intuitive and easy to use. It has 90% of the foods I eat need to track and was easy to see daily and per meal macronutrient breakdown.


That was before the update.


Now I have to scroll down to the bottom to see my daily totals, where the info is cluttered with other stats. It's also more difficult to see the per meal breakdown. I can't just glance anymore. The organization before the update was much easier to read and understand.


I'll continue to use the app since it is the best I've used. Maybe consider rearranging the stats for the next update. Thanks.

BeTheKim ,

Baby weight gone!

Using this app for the second time after having another beautiful baby girl! After gaining 50 lbs both times, I am back in my pre-pregnancy clothes at 4 months postpartum again! Love this app!

B-rice147 ,

Better than MFP

Seriously this app has a ton of features that make it worthwhile. Tracking your food (including scanning barcodes) is very easy. Keeping track of exercise is even easier. And it's free!

therealestmc ,

Great app

This app has helped me lose 10 pounds over three weeks. It's good to be able to watch what I eat and know how much calories that I take in and out. I hope the developer keep adding more features.

Frugalchristianliving ,

Great for OMAD users!

I am doing intermittent fasting/OMAD, and was just curious as to how many calories I was eating at my one large meal. Pleasantly surprised at how many great features this has! I use it in tangent with the app "fasting secret," and the two compliment each other nicely. Thank you!

Canino.luis ,

Easy, and user friendly

Easy to track what goes in your mouth. Track exercises and progress or regression. The BMR calculator is a little higher than others, I adjust accordingly. They stay on top of updates and improve the app regularly. I love it. Give it a shot

Brandi0o ,

By far better than the rest

This site has been around far longer than i recall the others and I have been using it for years. I can do everything i need to - for free.

GranNee Jo ,

Fabulous

I love this application. It makes me totally accountable for what I'm eating. There aren't many items that aren't listed and adding one is a cinch. This is fabulous for those who are serious about exercising, counting calories and staying healthy and accountable.

cld043 ,

Love the App

I love this app. The scanner makes it so easy. The sync feature is great. Finally an easy way to log everything, making me accountable for what I eat. I've lost 10 pounds the last month using this app.

Smoofstuff ,

Love this app! It's the best diet tracking app around!

This is the only diet tracking app I have used consistently because it has the restaurant menus and the barcode scanner! It's also very user friendly to navigate through!

Wow24/7 ,

Great app

I am constantly counseling patients on sodium and sugar intake. This app is quick easy simple to use. It gives information on not only total sodium intake but sodium per serving and tracks it. Unlike others that only look at carbs sugars and protein.

src_code ,

Love it!

This app has been the most reliable of all of the calorie counting apps and I've used it for years. I've lost over 100lbs and I honestly have to give some credit to fatsecret for helping me. Five stars and forever a loyal fan.

Janabdu1797 ,

Awesome app

I love the barcode scanner but for some reason a ton of things that I could scan before all of a sudden aren't showing up anymore. It kinda annoys me but it's fine seeing as I can easily find a similar product in the data base or enter it on my own.

PowerWizard ,

Updated for IOS8 - Now it's Super!

This app has just been updated for I OS8. It is working beautiful! Thanks a lot to the developer for getting this back online so quickly. It enables me to determine the proper insulin dose for blood sugar control. You are a lifesaver. Congratulations!

strdst1 ,

FatSecret

Pretty well organized. Good educational tool to understand where calories are really coming from and since I was on a low carb diet it helped me to fine tune what I was eating. Overall easy to use with enough information present to keep accuracy high.

Girliern ,

Love this app!

I have used this app for years! It is by far the best way to keep track of your macros and percentages. It has an extensive food database that makes it so easy to input your food, no matter what you are eating!

codydvick ,

Great

It's easy to use. It makes tracking your calories and macros super simple. You can also track your exercise and weight. It's a really nice looking and easy to use app that I highly recommend.

Lpowertrip ,

Now with export feature

Love the app! The new export option is awesome and works well. The app still crashes even after today's update. Today it was while using the barcode scanner. Hey I don't consider the crashing that big of a deal. Some OS's have been around a long time and still crash. Keep up the good work!

rene itunes acct ,

Weight Loss Surgery

Wonderful app. Having had WLS tracking protein is very important. This app is perfect for my needs. The barcode scanner works well. I deleted another app because the scanner never would work correctly.

Love this app!

dbajak ,

Love this ap

I love this ap it helps keep me on track. Also love the recipes, easy to follow, taste great and are healthy, but wish there was a place to store my favorites. Sometimes find it hard to search for them again.

Nrh435 ,

Great app; one small issue

I love this app. Here lately though, whenever I hit the plus sign to add food to lunch, dinner, snack it always adds the food to my breakfast meal so I have to go back in and change it to the meal I want to record. Using iPhone 4s. Just curious if there's a fix for this.

Anonnyfl ,

New iOS 8 update ruined the app!

My phone did the new iOS 8 update yesterday, now my app will not work! Please fix this! I absolutely love this app but now that I can't delete anything after being entered it change amounts it is no use to me! I am now using another app!

Markmark1212 ,

Great app

This a great app, and easy to use. I like how it can sync with the health app, but I would like to see other features of the health app be able to sync with this app. Such as the step counter or distance walked or ran and have those stats be added to the exercise section.

MarlysK ,

Very functional

Easy to use. Handy to have on my phone. Sync's with my other devices. Keeping track of calorie and carb intake, plus weight loss has helped me lose weight and keep it off.

Aeslehc123 ,

Im surprised this app was free!!

Has a large database of foods, you can weigh in... This app keeps track of everything!!! The only thing I wish it did was a photo log (for progress tracking)... But thats ok, I have another app for that!

Bbheath ,

Works

Been using this app off and on for years. I used it to lose 80lbs the first time and now using it to stay in track. As long as you do the work this app will help you.

j.frances-allen ,

Excellent weight loss app!

This app is so helpful! It is easy to use and doesn't take a lot of time. I love that you can take a picture of a product, and FatSecret does the rest! I recommend this app to my friends!

Waymn ,

Great - but one nuisance bug

Works great, lots of imbedded data, scanner works like a charm. One bug – can’t create a “Saved Meal” because the “SAVE” box is hidden behind the advertisement and can’t be move out to be selected. Same problem with the RDI computation page and Sync page and ??

Heather Pettus ,

This APP is awesome!!

I have used it for about 6 months now and I've lost 40 pounds and have finally hit my goal weight of 120!! It takes determination and really adding up every calorie but it seriously works try it!!!

LoveMusic600 ,

GREAT app!

Love this app. Would be at goal weight by now if I'd have had it sooner. Love the new Recipe and Cookbook addition. Only complaint is it needs to add 1/3 and 2/3 measurements for items that have 3 servings, in which case the 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 choices don't work. Otherwise SUPER app.

Best ever

I don't review for any app good or bad but this is an exception. I have been using fat secret for at least three years. Best app ever for tracking your calories and food. I used it on and off. It helps keep track of my weight.

ConcertOpera ,

Excellent tool

Very easy to use and helpful app. Once you invest a little time in saving some of your favorite meals, inputting is a breeze. I wish there were more exercise options, but that's a small gripe for a very useful app. 11 lbs and counting!

Emily98790 ,

Great app!

I prefer this to My Fitness Pal because it makes your calories look less intimidating through the way they format everything. Super easy to use. I have no complaints.

Michellekarp ,

Simple to use

Keeps track of daily food intake and exercise. includes information about common foods, even from restaurants. Tracks weight and goals. User friendly!

lfrancisj ,

Use it religiously but...

This app is amazing. The database of products and food choices right down to Chipotle is fantastic. I use it daily to track my macros but the most frustrating piece is that the app on the iPhone constantly has errors/and won't let me upload my numbers. This happens daily. Please fix.

Steffi19676 ,

So easy to use & a great tool!

This app really helps when wanting to count calories, carbs and fat! It has really helped me watch what I eat and helps me with choices when I'm not sure if something is good for me or not!

Captain2846392 ,

I've lost weight.

It's as the title. I'm not obese or complex as other people that likely require a lot of effort, but this helped me track my calories easy. With limitation I've lost some weight. I'll keep going until satisfied.

TLC-0630 ,

Data connection required.

The app requires an Internet or cellular data connection to work. While it may be possible to always have connectivity, FatSecret makes no bones about mining your personal data in the initial Terms of Service dialog that you must accept before using the product.


At least they're up front about gathering your information in exchange for providing a "free" app, and "free" web site.


No thanks!

Love using this app. Being able to track weight watcher points is a definite plus and is what made me chose this app. Would like more options in serving sizes but it is still the best out there.

Barcode Scanner

Live this app, had it on my droid before getting the iPhone 4. My only complaint now is that the barcode scanner does not work and this is a great feature. Please Fix......

Megoleg0 ,

Forgot password

Love this app over any other, just one problem, I've forgotten my login details and there is no place to recover this information. Please sort that out, or point me to a place i can do so

Happy feet 12345678910 ,

Great way to keep track

Easy to use. It's easy to personalize the settings to fit your own needs. As good as some of the apps that you have to pay for. Great community and recipes as well.

Dj_1973 ,

Easy to use, always in synch

FatSecret is a very straightforward, easy-to-use food tracker. Pretty much anything you eat is listed. It is easy to stay within the day's calorie range, and the at a glance setup makes it very handy.

Scotty001 ,

Yes, it really is awesome!

I use this app daily. It's so easy to just scan your food into this app and have it track your calories and fat and weight that it's unbelievable. Awesome job, awesome app!

Well done!

I've lost 6 lbs this month alone.

Mrs. Korsten ,

Fat Secret

Amazing and very helpful thing. It did help me finally start counting the calories and other stuff. Sometimes it works really slowly, but I think it's a problem of my phone not the app. Very satisfied!

FLhawkWY ,

Best help yet !

Love love love this app. Makes tracking your daily meals a breeze ! ( also love the help it provides when eating out w the restaurant menu info : helps me make better choices when out and about )

Ggilley ,

Great app.

Do the daily log shows you just how much habit eating and wrong foods you were eating. Seeing it total up every days makes you realize where you went wrong.

Gardenpics ,

Great App!

Love this app! Love the barcode scanner. Was using another software on my laptop and I had to manually enter all the stats for every new food. This is so much easier! I'm already spoiled. Love the exercise and weight trackers too!

Girltawk ,

An Awful Update

The latest update is terrible! When the quantity/amount of a food is changed, the nutritional information does not update immediately. This functionality worked well in the prior version. Also, the portion options are still too limited - especially the fractions scroll. Why do the programmers refuse to make this a stellar app?

Bunklet ,

Most useful app out there!

I never have trouble finding values for the meals I eat; the database is amazing! You can easily track your weigh-ins, progress, calories burned etc.. Great recipes and meal suggestions for any diet you are on. Congrats on a great tool!

MerlinMartin ,

New update broke what didn't need to be fixed

The new update pretty much broke the exercise tracking. Nothing seems to be improved in new version, but less data is presented on screen. I'm sure I'll get used to new formatting, but it's disappointing that the exercise tracking was broken.

.jay ,

Love it. Just needs step counting for calorie adjustment

This app is clean, simple, and works well. I hope the developer(s) add step counting data from the Health app and have it factor in to calorie intake.


Otherwise it's perfect for getting a picture (literally) of macros. I'm currently doing a clean bulk.

CF<3 ,

Love!

I love this app! I've tried other diet tracking apps and I always compare it to FatSecret. The updates on the app are ALWAYS helpful and never pointless. I been using this app for years! I will never delete this app.

Milkstool Driver ,

Great Calorie Counter

Excellent food search menu with every type of food you can imagine.

Easy, straight forward app that will aid you immensely with you weight loss endeavor.

Highly recommend it.

Wildcat Workout ,

Nice app

Easy to use and definitely helps you monitor caloric intake. I've tried all kinds of approaches for leaning out, and at the end of the day it's all about diet. This app makes it easy to track any food or drink which helps significantly with fitness and weight loss. Great app!

chefalmighty ,

Love it!

I found this a few years ago and it has really helped me keep my weight on track. It is very intuitive and lets you set up repeat meals for quick entry.

Cool Ed ,

Great app

Great app easy to use and works fine for keeping track of your weight and diet every food that you can image is easy to be found I don't want to be a fat person Thanks

Slartibartfast69 ,

Crash!

This was the most practical app on my phone until thevlatest update. Now all it does is crash and always at random times. I think it's the new ad banner, which I loathe. I would gladly pay any amount for a version without this distracting and in the way banner. Please offer a version without ads! Fix the crashing and remove the ads and I'll give it the 5 stars it should receive.

KizzleBizz ,

Fat Secret app is changing my life!

I am changing my eating habits because of this app. I am now concious of what I eat because I understand what my calorie intake should be. The best 10 seconds I have ever spent was when I downloaded this FREE app! Thank you, Fat Secret!

EC6426 ,

Used to work

I used this app a couple of years ago and it was great. The latest version though drives me crazy. I constantly get network time out error when I try to enter food. It can take 5 minutes of trying over and over just to get a food entered. Please fix!

KRE02 ,

Really like this app

This is my favorite calorie counting app by far. I do wish there was a multi-add function. I hate having to go through all the search steps to add multiple foods at the same restaurant. That's the only think I would change.

Don'tSmashYourFace ,

Does the job

This app actually works. No crashes, no complicated instructions. It just works. One caveat: some of the food entries are inaccurate regarding calories. Probably manually entered by other users.

Poweryacker ,

Useful and intuitive

I use this everyday and love the custom meal app better than competitor apps. I can create meals and save them and then easily modify them by item: i.e. Items included in a salad can be stored as a meal and then I can delet the items I chose not to include on any particular day.

Lamesamike ,

Easy to use

Entering food is easy. There is a good database of foods and a handy barcode scanner. Knowing how many calories you consume makes food choices easier and you can see the results.

Hazellnation ,

Love it but not as easy as if like

I love this app. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is I can not figure out how to change my calories a day or my start weight from a previous set up.

I have sent emails with no response. Help

bordyafromthestern ,

Painful to use

I have used both my fitness pal & this. This app is not user friendly, & when you find a food item that is not in the data base, or say you make actual meals from scratch, it is required that you first decode the matrix before you're allowed to put your own recipes in. Myfitt is not perfect, but it is easier to use, the data base is huge, & putting up with the ads is worth it.

Puz66 ,

Love it!

The app is very easy to use for tracking my food, exercise, and weight. I would recommend it to anyone trying to lose weight. I plan on using it to help maintain as well.

Comporder1 ,

Date issues

Date is a day behind and why can I not view my previous day in the food journal. Otherwise, I'm impressed with the foods lists and the adjustability for the portions. Currently, my rating is 3. I'll be glad to change the rating once the date issue is corrected.

Alphaheroine ,

Best

Ive used a few different apps similar to this but this one is always my go to. I come and go but this is the only weight aid app I do not delete off and have to add back. I think that says a lot lol

Seesa405 ,

Bummed and frustrated

This was by far my favorite app, until this update. Erased all of my food and progress made. Not only is this a loss for me on tracking daily and weekly nutrition, but I was also using this app to track food as part of a nutrition class. I'm supposed to be turning in 2 months worth of food journals. Guess I will not be doing that. :( really hoping this is something that can be fixed.

Julie708 ,

Very Helpful App!

I like so many of the features. So helpful that it easily shows me if I'm hitting my protein goal. Any time we journal our food, we're more accountable. This app makes it simple and clear. Thanks.

Mmgjgsj ,

Awesome 6 stars!!!

Everything you need and makes counting of calories but especially macronutrients super easy so that you can adjust your eating habits . Very useful analysis report to share with your nutritionist !

Really?1234 ,

Best app on the market!

I've been using this app for at least 5 years and it's never let me down. I absolutely love this app and am extremely grateful for it, and the fact that it's free!

Thank you!

Avenious ,

Simple - Intuitive - Helpful

What makes this application great is the simple user interface. Add an intuitive search bar, preloaded calorie counted foods and your goals just became easier to track. Good luck!

Roccitylisa ,

Solid free app

You really can't complain about this app. Easy, preloaded with lots of data. Doesn't bug you all day or try to upsell you or make you feel bad or give you fake praise. Love it for calorie and RDI tracking.

Blu1dBeut ,

Great, informative app!

I've recently started following a Keto/Paleo diet and this app is great for tracking your macros! The food and nutrition selection is great and it's extremely easy to add new foods you cannot find. Highly recommend!

Sir Kicksomeass ,

Wonderful Weight/Diet App

Makes dieting as fun as it can be. So many options. Easy to use. Great food tracker, food search, etc.


Only reason it doesn't get 5-stars is because I feel the bar-code scan option needs to be more prevalent.

kicline ,

Great app...

I enjoy this app it's helping me stay on track and very easy to use. It crashes a little more then I would like but I can deal. Would like to have a list of my commonly eaten foods so I don't have to constantly look them up. Overall great app!

Momfinn ,

Highly recommended!

I used to love this app-it was fast and easy. After the new "update" and Google advertising was added, it became slow and crashes all the time. I would have gladly just paid for the app that worked rather than get the ads that make it slow and crash. Looking for another calorie counter app...

Jmcbks ,

Good app when it works

Really like the app...when it works. About 40% of the time, I get a "Timed out. The network was busy. Try again later." message, which is extremely irritating, especially when the network is fine for everything else and has five bars.

Cassiejosh ,

Love it

I've tried Weight Watchers and diet pills. Have seen temporary results at best. This app has changed the way I will diet FOR LIFE! The only opportunity is you can not enter in calories burned for a tailored activity. Otherwise it is amazing. I def recommend.

Emeraldllc ,

Please fix iOS8 bugs soon!

I have used this app for over 2 years to lose 30 lbs and keep it off. It's a great product but currently it has some problems. Waiting...

TFarre ,

Great app

I've been using FatSecret for quite a while. The app is easy to use and the ability to access your account on the Web is also a great feature!

Coryne ,

Amazing what knowledge can do!

I love the ease of use with this app. It really makes staying on track easy. Just the knowledge of what you are putting in your body can really make weight loss easy.

Resting Rick ,

Weight Gain!!!

Using your app. to assist with weight gain for my 85yr. old grandmother with Dementia. Thanks for a great tool with the comprehensive list of foods. I've found very random items I never expected to find in your library.

Deanomites ,

Simple and helpful

This app is free and if you utilize it well to negative calorie count like I did, helps a ton with weight loss. Wish it'd allow you to go back more than 2 weeks, but hey it's free, so no complaints.

MeggyMondy ,

Great app

This app really surprises me as it helps me make smarter choices. Some foods I thought were high in calories aren't and others that I thought were smart choices ended up the opposite. Thanks for the knowledge

RUMPUS2000 ,

Really cool

This app is amazing it has everything!! I use it allllll the time!! A must-get app to snap you back into reality when you realize how many calories are in that blizzard from dairy queen that you are eating!!! MUST GET!!!

Yheavyweight ,

Everything is awesome except 4 scanner

Amazing app 4 tracking food & exercise calories the only problem I have w/ it is the scanner won't stay on for more than 15 seconds (iPod touch 4th Gen). The scanner works great with my droid phone.

gerrymax ,

The best!

Been going back and forth using this and other diet tracker app but I always go back to FatSecret because it's just the best! The predefined restaurant/fast food food selection is the biggest feature I like.

Erin Hayden ,

Excellent app! Best database

I've been using this app for over a year now and I can say with confidence that it is probably the best health app there is. The new layout for iOS 8 is beautiful and works seamlessly! Thanks FatSecret for helping me with my health goals!

Pamcakes22 ,

Good App

This app is good. They seemed to have worked out some of the kinks. My only change I would like is for them to allow me to choose all 5 of my columns and not automatically highlight 2 but tell me to choose 5. Really we can only choose 3.

Bockey ,

Love this App

Found out I was diabetic three years ago and started using this app. Still use it to this day to track my Carb intake as well as my calories. Love the Quick Pick section.

-Merrie- ,

Easy and Awesome!

I really love using this app. The community challenges are fun and the app tracks everything with ease. Almost everything I've scanned has been found as well.

RippedJimmy ,

Awesome app

Never do app reviews but Fatsecret has been a massive help in getting to six pack abs. Each day I can chart out a meal plan to maximize the satisfaction I get from my calories. Easy to use, lots of foods including restaurants.

Easy Lasagna ,

My Favorite

I will switch between this app and carrot: hunger. I like carrot for how cute it is, but I always find myself going back to this one for how well it is formatted, the visuals in the macro tracking and the accuracy of the database.

keto on! ,

Love it!

This is the easiest app to use out of all I've tried. Makes entering ALL info quick and effortless, so I can stay on top of how I'm doing with the Keto program. Highly recommend this app

Jake8976405022$ ,

Easy to use

Sometimes the desktop app is needed in order to make settings changes. Other than that, very simple to use!

PattyM48 ,

Undoubtably life changing

I have been using this app for just about five years now and it has truly helped me manage my weight and become a happier individual. Thank you.

Teddy775 ,

Miss a key feature

I love this app it works great, but it is missing one key feature. It needs the ability to read health data like the my fitness pal app. Adding this feature would put this app above the rest.

AJ_Syrinx ,

Excellent app to track your eating habits

I used the website years ago but love having the app. I'm losing weight by just watching what I eat and setting limits. The app is super easy to use.

TuleeHunter ,

Excellent

310 to 220 and shredded with the help of this app. Not a flaw I've found yet. I'm a paramedic so the thorough and vast food info helps when I have to eat out. An absolute must have and the only review I've done on the App Store.

nickname9093 ,

Weight loss made easy!

This app makes you aware of your choices and helps you make better one! Easy to use, easy to manage your weight!

Careyenz ,

Great app!

This app does almost everything I want! I only wish there was a bit more Apple Watch integration, but it's still pretty amazing. Love that my professional has access to all of my diaries which just adds to my accountability.

TOwnby ,

Great app

I've made a renewed commitment to eat better and get healthy. This app helps me count calories to watch food intake, allows me to track weight, and also allows me to track exercise.

Shannonmassa ,

Love it!

Super easy to use, and find all of the foods calorie content. Easy to keep track of your progress throughout the day and the accountability alone makes it work. I love this app!

mucuos membrane ,

This works

Losing weight fast! Its amazing to see how much you actually eat when you dont count the calories. This helps me limit my intake and ive already lost 5 lb in 2 weeks!

inmomjeans ,

Healthy Living Made Easy!

Very useful tool for on the go lifestyles especially for those who love food. Drawbacks, time consuming and loads slowly compared to Lose it! App.


Pros: this app allows you to scan your food items, that is if you eat scannable foods...

jackatthekilns ,

Great App!

This is a wonderful app. I would like it to be easier to add new custom foods, maybe even an ability to add the ingredients of a home recipie and merge them into a new food. also more options for fractions of portions.

Tammiemichellee ,

Amazing!!

I've been looking for an app like this for a long time, and I finally found it, thanks to the website; being diabetic, this is one of the best apps you could ever ask for!! Great job :) ♥

V3RO25 ,

The best calorie counter

You can count your calories, scan you items in, if you looking for fast results this is the best way to keep track of your own intakes.

Treyzkismet ,

Love it.

have tried a few others so far this is my favorite :) I only use it to look at what i eat and do in a day- not sure how this would work to lose weight

oopy00 ,

Life Saver

I absolutely love this app! Keeping track of what I am eating keeps me accountable in really seeing what I am doing on a daily basis. It truly as saved my life and helped me drop 72lbs in less than 6 months!

EstelaDR ,

Excellent app

I really like this app. It helps me to keep track on the calories that I consumed. Also tells me how many calories I should consume in order to reach my goal. Highly recommend it.

Nurseman111 ,

Update

Update is ok but I don't like having to open the exercise and sleep/rest sections in order to modify the existing activities. Also, when I go to look at a prior months stats, all the info is gone unless I go to a specific date then open the diet calendar. Likewise, in the diet calendar when I go to look at August, it thinks it's September. Please fix asap.

ErikTheDrew ,

Great app...

...terrible name.


I have lost 52lbs using this app in the past 11 months - but when my friends ask what app I use to count calories, I always hesitate to say the name. By the time I spit it out, they just snicker, "Oh, yeah. I can see why you'd take a minute to say that out loud."

firesoldier ,

Great App

It took a lot of time to realize what you put in your body is the most important variable to fitness plan.. The Fat Secret allows me to see exactly what I'm doing and how my body reacts to every miss step.


Love the app

Trantor1349 ,

Amazing

I have used many calorie counters before and this is simply the best. Easy to use, particularly with the website sync. Don't waste your money on a paid app and get this one!!!

CoachNaff ,

Love this app!!!!

I have been using this app for a couple of years and it's awesome!!! Lots of stuff already there and the barcode option is great!!!! This is the best food tracking app out there!

Damom9685 ,

Love the app!

Been using the app for over 3 years now. Love it, keeps me accountable for my gains and helps me celebrate my losses. I use it looking at the menu to decide when I'm eating out, scan things at home/work.


Having issues getting the latest update to download. Not happy with that right now

Chebugato ,

Awesome app!

It really helps in trying to keep to my calorie limits, and bring be to look up food on the fly makes it easy to make the right choices at restaurants! 🤘🏼

Jen0409 ,

Great food tracking

I love the app for food tracking but the weight tracking could be better. I wish that I could delete weight entries. I use another app for tracking my weight and on that app I can delete entries.

jkey4tina ,

Awesome App! Very helpful

This is a great app and awesome tool to control diet. Most all foods pulls up with the search. I like setting up my normal meals as that is a lot easier than choosing each item every time.

bday1223 ,

Great app for iPhone

It's been a great way to track my meal calories and daily intake. By using this app on iPad/iPhone and on the website, I've successfully lost 6.5 lbs!


Thanks for a great tool and expansive database of foods and their nutritional values!

Chris Thinner ,

Pretty darn good app

I've been using it very successfully. Good app. I would do two things to improve it: 1) create a recently eaten category that includes all meals 2) make it easier to create and use a custom food. It's not an intuitive process

squatch99 ,

Better than the competition

This app has a better food database than the other "popular" app that everyone seems to be pushing plus you get for free what the other one makes you pay for.

Ggren2007 ,

Fit

This app is perfect but it's very difficult to update app to another phone using the same email information


Highly recommended

Papergirl426 ,

Love it!

Glad to have food exercise and weight tracking together on the iPhone. Their website integration and customer service are outstanding!

l024680 ,

It keeps crashing!

I really liked the scanning feature and how easily I can search for food but the app keeps crashing on me! I'm planning to look for another app because sometimes it'll take more than 2 tries to save one food entry. If only it'll stop crashing on me; otherwise it would have been a great app.

theChrisMarsh ,

Very Usable, Expansive Food DB

I love this app, have it for both iPad ad iPhone. Very simple sync between the two. Simple to understand and powerful once you do.


Would love an offline mode, and a purchase version without ads. Also, photos of food on iPad.

Speedysneja ,

My only app for tracking weight

I've used it for two years now and love it. Helps me stay active and keep my weight under control.

RizzoBelou ,

Great app!

I use it mostly for food journaling but I really like all the reports.


Would even better if you could include more than just a weight goal, but a daily macro goal.

PaDota2 ,

The best but needs better servers

The best weight loss calorie tracker ever! I would have given 5 stars but sometimes (not often) the servers will be down for like 2 hours and I can't calorie count. Other than that, the best! I still use it!

Celtic/Alaskan ,

Helping

I would like to be able to enter my own data, it seems to need outside apparatuses. I've downloaded a couple of apps and ordered Fitbit to go along with this app. Using this religiously I have lost 3 pounds in two weeks so I'm happy.

momtothe5th ,

Best diet app

This app is user friendly and has the largest data base of foods which includes the nutrient value which makes keeping up with calories, carbs, fat and protein super easy and convenient.

KGood88 ,

Life Change

This app has really changed my life! I am so motivated to reach my goal! Living a healthier life is intoxicating!!! Thank you, for helping me make the change! I wish I could rate this app higher!

Chloethecat100 ,

Good way to monitor your macros

Much easier to keep track of my macros once I earnestly began to keep track of everything I ate with the app. The first few times I used it, I struggled to document my meals. After a few days I got the hang of it

Harley2510 ,

Great if scanner worked

This app is awesome but the barcode scanner doesn't work most of the time. It just sits there and doesn't allow you to cancel or enter barcode most of the time. Fix this and I'll give it 5 stars!

Seimendave ,

Best app for my health

This app has so much good functionality. If you are honest with it and commit to using it, you will be amazed at how the food you eat adds up. Never have issues with it.

John Fredrick ,

Useful

Great app. Its helps track your calories. Its very easy to use and i love the barcode scanner 👍👍 its great if your looking to stay fit or if you just want to track what you eat.

BamRoasted420 ,

No more carb/fat count

I love the app but the older version had the amount of carbs a day and how much fat you are and now it only shows calories. And it's hard to keep track of how many cabs you've eaten in a day. Please bring that back.

GranstraC ,

Great App.

Easy to navigate, quick selections so that you can go in and out of it several times a day without taking a lot of time. Good for busy schedules. A lot of info at a glance.

AshleyDawn0527 ,

Best App to count carbs

I have tried about all the apps out there to help count carb for a low carb diet and this app by far is the best there is. It's easy to use. So simple to scan a barcode or search for food/resturants.

Rodell12 ,

Great app to lose weight with

In just over a month with a lot of work and this app I have lost weight and well on the way to my goal. This is a great app if you use it right.

WvuFan00 ,

Best ap for food tracking!

This is by far the best app for food tracking. I have used it for over 5 years and the content is more robust than other trackers.

Sarahtdl ,

Pretty decent tracking program

Some of the more recent updates made things a little less easy to use, but in general it's not a bad tracking program.

Eadhs ,

Great app

I love this app. It's a great help for me to be able to monitor my food intake and balance my nutrition. I also can monitor my weight. Eat right and diet without starving. I lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks. My sugar level is stable

Reospecialists ,

Love it!

What a great app! It's one of my most used apps on my phone as I plug in every meal and I'm amazed by how accurate it is! An absolute must have to keep you accountable while dieting or even just maintaining weight. Thanks

Boopmenow ,

Used to love

This used to be my go to app for everything I ate but the recent changes just make this a miserable app to use now. Like most people I eat a lot of the same things routinely but they made the quick pic and recently eaten buttons virtually impossible to touch or use. And the scan barcode freezes quite often. Guess its time to move on to a better, more comprehensive app.

VRod007 ,

WHAT HAPPENED?

I used this app almost 2 years ago & lost 15 lbs in 1 month. I gave up on it because too many redundant steps for same foods. Now I come back and adding foods via barcode takes way too long and almost unusable actually locked up app once and had to quit. I really liked this app before and now they messed it up.

Dcarr178 ,

Best health app

I use this app to track my exercise, food consumed, and weight. It is extremely well-designed and has become an invaluable tool that I use on a daily basis.

Salem007 ,

A really good app

I was surprised that I would continue to use this app but so far I don't find it difficult. I was surprised to know how many calories per day I was actually eating.

michdavidadams ,

Amazing, works really well!

It's my favorite diet app on the App Store. And it's free!

I just wish it would sync with fitness apps, and the health app show it can count my steps and how many calories I've burned.

SarahClemy ,

Love this App

I've been using this app for years (off and on). It's easy enough to use if you just DO IT! My only complaint is that I can't sync it with my Fitbit. There are even groups you can you get involved in for encouragement.

Jflo0331 ,

Most helpful

I am new to using this app but so far I find it great for tracking my carb intake. As a new diabetic it is very helpful to see the graph showing a breakdown of carbs, fats and proteins. It has taken me a bit to learn the app but getting better everyday!

Teeshow 13 ,

Great App!

Great for anyone keeping a food journal to lose weight or just trying to eat healthy. It has a large food database. It does all the work of providing a detailed summary of daily food intake.

Rbintpa ,

Great tool for weight management.

A must have. Monitors all your food and helps to stay on track or get back on track. Highly recommend.

wmcrain2 ,

Network Dependent

This is a great app IF you have good network connectivity. I work somewhere that has no wifi and only limited phone connectivity (2 bars at best usually) If I want to add a snack I have to walk outside to get better phone reception. Would be a much better app if your info was kept on the phone and not in the cloud somewhere.

Nickels1985 ,

EXCELLENT

I absolutely LOVE this app! It has helped me so much. Very easy to use! I have tried others but they were confusing. This has everything I need! Download it. You won't be sorry!

Best Diet/Meal tracking App!

I use this app frequently; it's quick and easy to use, has all the features I could ask for, and it keeps me on task! I highly recommend it.

It seems to work well. One issue is the exercise. Any time I try to enter a custom exercise like surfing it crashes. Tried to email the company but no contact us info is on the app. Calories seem accurate but RDI seems high.

Julzzyy ,

Best app by far!!

This app is so helpful and easy to use. It's amazing for managing what you eat & making sure you stick to your daily goals. It comes preloaded with food and has a big data base! Julz for SA!!

Ktastical ,

Best food database

I've been using Fat Secret for about 4 years. I've tried many of the other calorie counting programs and keep coming back to Fat Secret. The name is awful, but the app and website are great. Not fancy, but solid and easy to use.

Maddie817991 ,

Macronutrient tracker

I really like this app, I was using my fitness pal but it didn't have some of the foods I ate. I came on here and I found everything ! It's super easy to use and convenient .

JDogg765 ,

Good Tool

I have a goal to lose a certain amount of weight by a certain time and this app has been great in helping me control my diet. All that I need for myself.

Katyarus86 ,

Doesn't work

What is going on with ur app right now? It keep saying network timeout! It has happened before but would be fixed within 5 min.... Its been almost 2 hours and I can't use it!

Smithdan ,

Most used app I have

I've stabilized my weight with this app. Track my weight every morning with it. Use its database to track calories consumed daily. Syncs with phone and iPad.

Fridkid3 ,

My weight lose secret

I've been trying to lose weight for months. My mom recommended this and I've seen results in a short amount of time. I wish the app would sync with my running app.

Crickett68 ,

Excellent Tool for Weight Loss

Accommodates multiple types of weight loss plans and excellent brand and chain restaurant resources. Keeps the user honest when applied accurately and the weight drops off consistently.

Matey108 ,

Calorie Counter

Calorie Counter has been a GREAT tool for me! I have been able to watch my calories, track my exercise and I have lost 6 pounds in the past month!

iluv2boogyoogyoogy ,

Very easy way to keep track of food during the day!

I love this app! Easy to use and best way to keep track of calories during the day!

DecSleever ,

Favorite App for food

I've tried many but since my bariatric surgery this app has been the easiest for me to use since I'm more focused on protein/carb ratio. This app really helps me stay on track!

A1234$&@ ,

❤️️

After using my fitness pal for a day and getting bombarded with advertisements: I realized how much I love FatSecret.

Been using for years and it keeps getting better

Thank you

MarianA56 ,

A great help!

Love the barcode reader and big database of calories already there - makes count calories so much easier and therefore makes me much more likely to do it!

Tamera71 ,

Great App!

I've been using this app for about three years. I love how I can go back and look at weight and calories eaten. App works great and most all the food I eat is in the data base.

Rsa11111 ,

Nice free app

I really all the features this app has added over the years. It's easier to find your items and the charts are nicer. It's really quite nice for something that's free.

bbhtnme ,

Loved - until today!!

I think this is a great app! Helps me track my protein especially. HOWEVER...all my daily journal are gone!!! I want to be able to show my doctor if he asks. My history is gone!! Even what I ate today for breakfast & lunch have disappeared! Guess I bees to look for a new app.

Willy7354 ,

Great!

Really helps me stay focused. Have used it succesfully in the past to drop about 10 pounds by just being aware of what i am eating and making smarter choices.

Roland1211 ,

Amazing App!

This app has helped me get my life on track! I've lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks just by being able to track what I'm eating and my work outs.

Michele3333 ,

Nice calorie counter app, once you get used to it

I had to switch to a new calorie counter app when the app I'd been using for 7 years crashed. It took some adjustments, but I think I've come around to this app.

Hpow588 ,

Easy app!

Extremely quick and simple to use! Has everything you could want in a diet and exercise tracker!

NerakZaid ,

Really large database

Really like this app, it is as if it knew me personally!! The only thing missing is a scan bar to add new things and compatibility with pop programs like BeachBody and 4Life... Otherwise, and excellent source and a favorite!

dkreed07 ,

Great app

I use several diet apps but always come back to this one because it's nice. I wish I could scan food items though

Kellyasb ,

Usinh it for years best app

I have been using this app for years it is a great tool not only for tracking calories and weight but for tracking carbs sodium fat etc.

neurodad ,

Great app

Generally easy to use, comprehensive & very helpful especially when cooking at home. Adding recipes was a little tricky but once this app illiterate got it, it has become very handy. Would give a 4.5 star rating but no halves!

Thomas461 ,

Great app that has a lot of features to help you food journal properly

This App has everything I need to good journal and just tonight I realized it will sync with my exercise app. Win!

Ghostfox5 ,

Great app!

My husband and I have been using FatSecret for two months now, and it's really helped us track our calories and lose weight!

MikeL1771 ,

Great app get it now.

The best app of this kind on the market, I have found no other app that even comes close to having the extensive food database this one does.

SimonnaMonna ,

Awesome

I use this app everyday and I love it!! I've been using it for a few months now. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because the workouts don't sync with the health app. Everything else does tho and it's the bomb :)

BIrd player1 ,

Better

I love this app. I used it last time when I dropped over 70 lbs. I've only kept 40-50 of it off when I fell off of using it. Now I'm starting to use it again so I can drop another 40-50 lbs. It keeps me motivated.

tjp653 ,

It works!

What more can I say. Fat Flush not only works during the flush period, but is also a highly effective way of eating healthy and keeping the weight off long term.

Laura Mac ,

Awesome App!

This app is GREAT! I have successfully lost weight every time I use it and stick to my clean eating habits. THANK YOU for putting Net calories/output on latest upgrade- helps me keep track a lot better!

michaelhurley40 ,

Great App!

use this app for six weeks to track everything that goes into my body and it's very easy to enter information and search for foods. And it's free!

Giraffe_girl ,

Great app!

I've used a lot of calorie-tracking apps over the years and this is my favorite! Easy to use, the database is extensive, and I can add things that aren't in it.

Groundhog Jim ,

This app has helped me so much!

I can keep up with all of my calorie intake so easily as well as track my weight and exercise. Just fantasy. Thank you!

A CBS Fan ,

Great app

I am counting carbs and I love that I can find most of the restaurants I like to go to on this app. I also love that I can put in a recipe and it calculates fat, protein, and carbs for me. Great app and I love most of all that it isn't a cost trap.

ncsubballgirl05 ,

Great app

I LOVE this app--does everything I want it to do. Lets me track my food intake & exercise in a user-friendly way & syncs to my online account. A must-have app for me to keep up my regimen!

arsinic ,

Great but could use improvements

This is very easy to use and I can track what I've eaten with ease! They have so many things in the food database. The only problem I've had was that the barcode scanner has NEVER worked for me, it always crashes.

Manhadanite ,

Great online, lousy mobile.

I'm a big fan of the online site, but the mobile app is a disaster.


I get a "Network Timed Out" error every 3-4 clicks. And if you're a few levels into the app to search for a food, and get that error message, it sends you all the way back to the beginning. Extremely frustrating mobile version of an otherwise excellent tool.

Trio momma ,

Can't delete a food item!

I'm not sure what happened but after downloading the iOS 8 update I can't delete food entries from breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack sections. Help! I've had this app for several years and have never had this issue before. Hopefully its temporary:(

Sojo Muleskinner ,

Quick Pick problem

On iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2 my Quick Pick menu always adds food to Breakfast, then I have to edit to change to meal I had selected from. Please fix.

MandyB💚 ,

❤️ Easy to Use

Love this app. Very quick and easy to use. Can find just about everything. Use it often. Wish it had a widget for quick quick access.

TammyC73 ,

Great for type1 diabetic

My son was recently diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic. We use this for carb counting. It has many items that don't list carbs on the packages. A must for parents who have diabetic children.

Marilyn_ ,

Great app

This app is the best tool for those on a LCHF diet. It shows how many carbs net you've eaten, how much of fibers, sodium, potassium, etc. Shows how much weight you've lost, how many calories you ingested. It's really helpful!

Pidondo ,

Excellent app

Really helps when you can see what you've eaten in a day. It's much easier to control your eating and really helps with weight loss!

logecho ,

No profile options in app

Maybe I missed something here but I can't search or see other users or edit my profile from the app. So it's an extension from their website which makes this an incomplete app.


The food database looks very good.

Mojitomom ,

Nice!

I love this app! It does boot me off a couple times when I try to scan a barcode. I just try again and it usually works. Frustrating, but overall this is great. Good parts out weigh that one issue.

ncsudan ,

Works for me

I got this to track mainly fat intake as I'm on reduced fat due to a health issue. The barcode scanner is a lifesaver and too easy!


Don't use the exercise part as I'm not on a low fat diet to lose weight, so can't comment on that part.

Monty1221 ,

Great but has flaws...

I love this app until it either crashes or the barcode keypad doesn't work. I also think that there should be smaller increments to choose from when tracking a serving. Fix that and this app would be the best.

Leeseeslynn ,

Love this counter!

I find this so simple and easy to use. There could be a few more exercise options, but overall I recommend this calorie counter over others.

cherribom1 ,

Great app

I love this app. Easy to keep track of foods, weight and activity. It has an extensive choice of food items and easy input of obscure foods. Much better than fitday.

Sarah💪🏼 ,

Progress!

If you want to make great progress then this will help you tremendously. I'm a person who HAS to be organized so this app is the only way to go for me.

Nvjf ,

Easy to use

This is a huge help to me to track not only my calories, but also my fat, carbs and protein. I love how I can adjust the servings to accurately track what I'm eating.

MrsUSABN ,

Love it!

Great way of being conscious about your carb/sugar/fat/calorie intake & output. I've lost an incredible amount of weight with this & im definitely more conscientious about what I eat & drink!! Great way of visually keeping my weight loss goal in sight! Highly recommend!

Pebelz ,

So far, so good!

It's been a wonderful app! Helps me keep my carb and calorie counts which causes me to be more cautious about what I eat. So far I've lost 13 pounds and am hoping to continue the trend! 😊

Joel's Mother ,

Works for me

Gives me a good sense of how much I can eat in a day and not get fat. As I get older seems I can eat less and less to still stay reasonably trim. Easy to use once you get all your regular foods accounted for.

joe057942158 ,

It's good

It does the job of tracking my calories, fat, carbs, and protein throughout the day. Love the scan barcode function, but it crashes a lot after scanning. Recognizes most, not all barcodes. Would also like to see a little cleaner layout but a good free app overall

ScreenNameAlreadyChosen ,

Works(-ish) more development please

Wish it wouldn't crash as much on 4th gen iPod touch. Much better than previous versions. I've still been waiting over a year for the barcode scanner to actually work... Kinda a deal breaker when you have to enter in the barcode numbers manually! Please do some dev, please!!!

Gramy58 ,

Love this app!

I have been using this app since 2010. By watching my foods and exercises I have lost more than 40 pounds. Suggest capability to add 1/3 and 2/3 quantities as 1/4 and 1/2 are not always accurate for portions eaten.

JuanRoUs ,

All in one! I like it!

Am very surprised w the app, i just started three days ago and really works great for me, easy to understand and handle, and the food list is huge!

Alexandriniums ,

Constantly "crashing"

Haven't used the app in a few months. Along with the complete visual makeover, it now crashes very frequently while I am logging foods. I mostly log in grams, and scrolling though the numbers seems to cause it. Please fix!

ErinM84 ,

Terrible!!

Now I see why my coaches all pay for MyMacros app. This app adds double the amount of my saved meals, then crashes when I try to delete the extra food I didn't eat! My boyfriend told me today he just realized his was not counting correct calories for fats! Fix these issues or I will be deleting this app very quickly! He has already made the switch.

Tatymota11 ,

Perfection

I tried myfitness pal because people was raving about it. Oh Lord compare to this MFP is a pain in the neck.. FS has been the best tool to track my calories, exercises etc.. I love it. Ive lost 7 pounds counting macros using FS, very reliable app.

Just keep walking ,

This is my favorite!

This is my go to app. I have tried others and always come back, it has the best library and the most flexible serving sizes. I always convert other people when I talk about it.

purplElephant ,

Great App, but latest update messed up Health App integration.

This latest version is putting data into the Health App in wrong days between on March 11th and 12th. Pretty much worthless for tracking in Health app until fixed. I took two stars off until they fix.

Easy412 ,

The Real Deal

This app is exactly what i looking for. I originally was looking for a carb counter, but this app does that and much, much more. Really extensive food list and flexibility with custom entries. It will not disappoint.

Yousername ,

Really useful-- accurate-- convenient

This app was always great--has improved steadily-- really worth having. Reliable, well updated.

crazymonkey27 ,

Graphs?

I love this app! However, I would really like to be able to see graphs showing my consumption of fats, carbs, and protein over long periods. Despite that, it's a perfect app. Helps me know I'm on track and on my way to the results I want.

KFam. ,

Great app

It's helping me with how I eat. I didn't know just how many calories I was putting into my body until now. I've been loosing weight since

Rob the innovator ,

Want to lose weight? Use this app!

If you count calories you are less likely to make poor choices of what you eat. Love, love this app. Very well done,

Conqher Fit Girl ,

Amazing

This app helped me stay consistent through my challenge with conqher fit. It is so specific and easy to use. Love every advantage this app has to offer.

ksmch ,

exactly what I needed

at last, it was hard to find this in appstore. now I can stop use my custom solution in excel :) thanks a lot, will reccomend this app to all friends

Lokgdhbv24:) ,

Awesome

Quite practical and useful as long as you don't forget what you've done and eat.

I don't have Apple Watch to sync my body so have no idea how it works.

Overall 4/5.

Many thanks to developers.

WilsonFam1997 ,

Excellent tracker!

Everything is awesome, just with I could change some of the food weighted items and size amounts. Other than that, love it!

Martin Carrion ,

Easy to use and I can put my own recipes

I'm on a ketogenic diet and I need to calculate all my macros. This app is fantastic!

What I like the most is that I can create and save my own recipes.

W-J's ,

Great App!!!!!

I can personally highly recommend this App if you wish to monitor your food intake, the calorie consumption & your weight fluctuations. I'm very happy with all features!!!!!

DZMomma ,

Pregnancy/Breastfeeding Calories

I LOVE this app! It would work even better for me if it took pregnancy/breastfeeding into consideration when calculating one's RDI. Just a couple of simple yes or no questions added when entering one's height and weight would do the trick. Once they add that, I'll give this app five stars.

Roy Litzenberg ,

My Go To Food/Exercise App

I have used this app daily for more than 2 years. It started out excellent and gets better and better!

Eodmcc ,

Improved

The old version was real glitchy and the scanner didn't work. The new version is really nice. Overall I like it better than myfitness pal. Their scanner is better but I like fat secrets setup

JoshAngel ,

Great Way To Lose Weight

I've tried many weight loss programs & this is the first one that actually worked.

YooooAmy ,

Love it!

Love this app! I use it everyday. I have searched a while now for a free app that lets me track and customize my own macros as I am on a specialized diet. This is by far the best one and I will stay loyal.

Kenjaninja ,

Great app to track food, calories, macros, and weight

Better than myfitnesspal in my opinion. Can save meals and change them easily.

Yofeseffe ,

This app has been flawless.

This app has been a huge help in pinpointing nutritional intake. I don't usually do any reviews but this app totally exceeded my expectations .The depth of resources contained in this app is extrordinary!

Mrphilipjoel ,

Beautiful But No Activity App Sync

This is a beautiful app, much nicer looking than competitors apps. But, where is the sync to the Activity app from the iPhone in the Apple Watch? I'd rather not have to manually enter in my exercises, when my iPhone and Apple Watch already calculates all that for me.

Jen blue devil 31 ,

Love this app!

I love that I can keep track of everything in one app. I like that I can take a picture of my food and it will create the calories for me!

AngieOnDeck ,

Much easier than MyFitnessPal

I find this app so much easier to use than MFP. It also gives me the Fiber counts in the feee version (unlike MFP). I do a Keri diet, so having the fiber counts to calculate net carbs is essential.

Bluberyjam15 ,

Helpful app

Great app but it crashes way too often and it won't let me put bar codes in manually without crashing. Also is there a way to log calories,fat and carbs without choosing a food from the list?

pillowman1235 ,

Great. Exactly what I needed.

I love it. To make it better, maybe add some charts and additional optional data. Glycemic load is something I would love to be able to add. Also, I think you should add other things to RDI, such as protein.

Jonjonsnana ,

ISO 8. Problems

I have attempted to add foods to diary app crashes. I attempt to put on weight app changes it to something different than what was entered then crashes. App is not usable as it is. Multiple crashes Please fix app it is a good one it is not compatible with the new update to ISO 8.

LNoon ,

Great App - Use It Every Day

I love FatSecret, and their app lives up to their name! It's a great way to stay on track while you're out and about. Wouldn't have lost 20 lbs without it!

Qsteele ,

Fat Secret v My Fitness Pal

I had used MFP in the past and was pleased, but ads were becoming more and more intrusive. Fat Secret offers a similar experience without all those pesky ads.

Rockgirlsr2005 ,

Awesome

Love This!!! This has made it so much easier for me to watch what I eat and lose weight!!! I'm 8lbs down! I've only had this app for about two weeks!

MELiSSAFAiTH91 ,

Free .

I am so happy with this app.i needed something for my Apple Watch and everything was all free then you needed to purchase a " premium package". I love this actually free app! Highly recommend!

Bobbybigfish ,

Excellent App

Robust functionality and user friendly. I use this app extensively and feel like it has helped me in my efforts to lose weight.

dixonh ,

Love it!!

Love the app very easy to keep track of my daily exercise, weight and endless of fast food, restaurants and every single food I eat.

AppCRW ,

Part great / part not so great

The basic calorie counter rocks. It's free and easy to use. The process for storing recipes is really cumbersome, and I could never get it to work. If you don't mind logging every separate ingredient of that smoothie or favorite meal every time, it's free and easy to use.

hunchovb ,

Like a lot

This one of the best app's I've downloaded and it's free. So useful and much better than some you pay for. Highly recommend.

rdqlus ,

Horrible User Exerience for a Very Cool App!

Two things have forced me to not use this very cool app. Aside from the barcode not working, which is fine because the keypad is great, the UI & UX fails because;


- there is no visible, searchable menu archive for saved/scanned foods. It's horrible user experience to have to search your past meals by necessity just to get a food. By repetition or choice, fine. But the only way i can do that?! Fail.


- ads a necessary, no problem. But when it fully blocks the crucial button allowing me to save and calculate my RDI then you get "fail"


I really want to use this app, but back to "Lose It!" until they get it together.

A.Sheppard ,

Easy to use

I've been using this app to maintain and sometimes lose weight. It is so easy to add a new food item to their database too. Keeps me honest.

736673originalname987388 ,

Comprehensive & intuitive

Amazingly helpful & well-thought out app. Love the huge database of foods with their full nutritional info charts.


Awesome food & weight tracking features as well.


Love, love it.

Shadowrael ,

Really nice

It's kind of taken over my life, but in a way that makes me feel like a better and healthier me. And it validates all my snacking as long as I don't cross its calorie intake line.

Dash_of_water ,

Lots of options

This app is great for getting a picture of what you eat and how that translates into macros. You can easily integrate exercise info, too.

Sadori02 ,

Great App

I was obsessed with My Fitness Pal. Until I changed to the Keto diet and was unable to get accurate macros from MFP. I switched to Fat Secret and I love it! I gave it four stars because I wish it had the scan feature.

Magical_smoke ,

This app is what you need.

Tons of features. Works great, no problems so far. Offline food search would be great though.

Mindykoz ,

Frustrating

Downloaded FatSecret to track my daily entries on my Ketogenic diet. I've spent 45 minutes trying to set my goals and recalculate my calorie limit. I get everything entered, hit save, and the recalc stays at 1700 calories daily. Surely, this cannot be accurate. I use 70% fat, 25% protein and 5% carbs. After each save, it reverts to 5% fat, 70% carbs. Giving up and deleting the app. I'll stick with KetoDiet app.

Beckysan ,

Love it but noticed some bugs

I like it better that fitness pal-would have given the full 5 stars, but I've noticed some bugs here and there that I'm confident will get resolved.

GreenMay12 ,

Love love Love! my fatty secret calorie counter

Huge database

Superhero fast

Easy to read layout that provides a comprehensive view of your caloric intake

Did I mention how fast it is? Click click it's recorded

It's heaven sent overall ( I pd for the fitclick app for $7 and it's not even close in terms of speed and layout).

My only wish for this app is that they let you click more than one food at a time

Specialnurse ,

This is great!!!!

I have not encountered any problems. I am able to record on my food log, add exercises, + use my barcode. Love it, love it, love it! Very well thought out.

kpmommy79 ,

going somewhere else

The barcode scanner is not yet optimized for my iPod touch. I have the newer ipod touch with the camera. Don't think I will be using this app. I like the idea of being able to scan the food, but if the scanner isn't compatible with my iPod touch I will go somewhere else.

Lisalisacj ,

I LOVE this app and site

It's exactly what I needed. The recipe section functionality could use some tweaking, but overall I am so happy.

It actually makes calorie counting Fun!

sbg505 ,

Exercise tab

I loved using this app, but since I upgraded to ISO 8.0 the exercise tab does not give me any exercise choices. All I can do is increase/decrease the duration of sleep time. What gives? Please fix this problem ASAP!!!!

JKanton ,

Excellent calorie tracker

The app tracks all of the calories I burn working out and the calories I eat during the day helping me stay on track.

rjspies ,

Best and easiest app for calorie counting.

I use this app daily. Easy to use and extremely helpful. I advise my patients who want to lose weight to use this app.

Jlb1003 ,

Good, but the new version...

Impressed with the breadth and depth of this app, makes the tracking tasks a pleasure, however the new version does not display day totals of net carbs, nice add for the summary section, I prefer the summary totals at the top for my tracking selections, please return that display format, it is superior.

Ron75upc ,

Perfect

Has helped me lose over 50lbs and the weight keeps coming off due to the vast menu on this app! Thank you!! Best app I have on my phone!

Mother0fPearl ,

Amazing! Love the pie chart!!

I love the pie chart, it is great to see my fat, carb, protein ratio. I love that you can add in exercise even breastfeeding which makes it a big help! Wish more people knew about this app.

brianlaw72 ,

Even better after update

I liked it before but the UI is even better now. Love being able to scan food items.

gelrod ,

Recent updates

Until the last update I was pretty happy with this app. However whoever came up with the idea to do this update should be fired.


Foods are eaten at multiple meals. Adding something I had at lunch to dinner is very very difficult. Again changing this option was just plain dumb.


It was three stars before the upgrade update, now 0.5 stars.

Lovethesetrees ,

Please read !

This app has so much potential. Please add updates and stop it from force closing. Maybe maybe it easier to see the cals burned while resting or sleeping on the main screen?

Caw56 ,

Great app

This is a great app I was once very fat and I needed a way to track my food. I found this app online and glad I did now I look great I'm a lean fit dude. I'm happy I found this app.

Itshxnow ,

FatSecret Fan

Very pleased with this free app. Easy to use and share with my fitness buddy. I wish it would synchronize with my GARMIN Forerunner 230. If it did that, I would give it 5 stars and probably

upgrade to subscription version.

CatinTx ,

Valuable Tool

Excellent database that is easy to customize. Many helpful features. This works the best for me of many I have tried.

Vlitz59 ,

Exercise Spot & Restaurants

Just can't seem to find the spot to enter any daily exercise or where the restaurants are, while on my phone. Can someone point it out for me. Not terribly fond of the home page either. Time will tell.

Developer Response ,

Hi Vlitz59, you can now enter exercise on the diary screen towards the bottom.


Also if you don't like the home page you can go to settings to go back to the old 'classic' menu and/or just change the filter to see what you want.


Thanks for your patience

^LM

yo_hay ,

Great App

Just started using app, already enjoying the ability to use barcode scanner for food items. And the chart to track your daily calorie intake.

MONARCH!!! ,

Awesome App!

Love the app! It's excellent! It is easy to use and the food lookup library is extensive! If I can't find what I'm looking for, in the serving size I'm having, I can easily add it!

Dgood7 ,

Great app for tracking calories, fat, sugar,etc.

Best I've found for tracking calories and nutritional info. Food diary is a must for success with weight loss.

Kidon0 ,

Easy to use but doesn't always match up to the website

Nice app. Very simple to use. Wish the data would match up to the website.

Irishbshep ,

Best Weight Help

I have used this app for over a year and I LOVE it, not like it, LOVE it. Easy to use, create easy recipes to log calories from your own recipes. Great app, must have !

Fhdhnf ,

Almost perfect

An excellent calorie tracker that also allows you to track macros, sodium intake, etc. You can also add exercises to give yourself a sense of net calorie usage.


My complaints are:

1) The baseline numbers are absurd. Do not go by its recommended calorie intake, put in your own.


2) Lots of nutrition info in the app regarding a lot of restaurant chains, but if yours isn't in there, you're going to have to do some guessing.


Overall a great app, but could use some more love.

Mema_Kim ,

A very reliable tool

I've used this app for years. I'm looking forward to having a sync feature added. Otherwise, a very reliable tool.

Frosty1315 ,

Excellent app!

I've used this app for nutrition and weight tracking for 8+ years! It's never failed me! Very reliable and easy to use!

CocoKrispie ,

Love it!!

Love the app! Love that it has sooo many foods from different places to choose from. Love that I can add my own recipes and customize my exercises!! Highly recommend!

Angel09999 ,

Love it

I love this app. Very simple to use. I use it everyday. I would recommend this. For the calorie count, it has all of the foods I eat listed. Lists restaurant foods also.

Djsfw57 ,

User friendly

Love this app. Tried others, but this is the most user friendly one I've tried. Very simple to use. Love it.

Tanvi Maharaja ,

The Disciplinarian!!

Keeps me in check! It's incredibly easy to use and hence one that I am likely to stick to. Lost 10 pounds so far. 10 more to go!!

MichMurr ,

Great food tracker

Great way to quickly log food and beverage intake per day, weigh ins, fitness. No weighing food- just enter quantity. Love this app! Very encouraging to see the summary reports and stay on track with carbs.

Rowl Tyde ,

Great app

This app has been great. I would gladly pay for the app just to get rid of the ad at the bottom. The ad eats up more data usage. Other than that it has really helped me watch my calorie intake.

Horrible Updated Version

There are more steps to get to what I want and everything food item goes directly to Breakfast unless you manually change it. Can't add to the meal time by recently eaten because food items are randomly saved. Basically your update us horrible. I will need to find a different application to use.

Jcapo9 ,

Devlopers please update +A overall

I love this app but it continuously crashes. I love the fact that you can choose the serving size in grams unlike other apps who only have the option in ounces or pounds. Please update this app developer is has great potential.

Auburn Golfer Gal ,

Great App!

I really like this app! I love the food list and barcode scanner. I'm a little confused about how the exercise calculator works but I'm sure I'll figure it out!

Reesa Z ,

Love!

This app is so awesome and easy to use. I especially love the barcode scanner. It it makes it really easy to add foods that don't come up automatically.

Rljhicks ,

Super!!

I use this app everyday. I can email reports weekly to my doctor. I love that it backs to web without me having to do anything.

divinatio ,

Wonderful app!

It helps me to control what I eat. The only minus is not all barcodes can be found and not all products. But mostly it serves its purpose- I don't over eat and I eat food that good for me.

ElizHek ,

Fun and easy diet support

Really enjoying this app. It's easy to use and is actually helping learn about what I eat. Only wish it more easily tracked real food. That's not always easy to find.

Jennee214 ,

Great calorie tracking app

This app is great unless your food isn't in the database and then it's a bit of a guessing game. That said I haven't found many things that aren't on the list.

TraderVee ,

On The Right Track

Pretty good, but still lacking a number of foods that one would think would already be there

CthulhuHunter68046 ,

Great app! Helped me lost 100lbs!

This app is a great asset to have for losing weight! It's simple & easy to use & with each update it gets better! Keep up the good work!

Gdarcell1 ,

No Privacy of Your Data

There is no privacy of your data that is entered into the application. Your weight food entries goal weight and any other information that you enter into the application can be pulled up via a Google search. If you use your full name to set up your account with this application it will be displayed on the Internet.

Elena_ua ,

It was better when new food added in grams

I don't like this version because I can add new food in grams only in portion. But it's not useful, I think and because of this it's difficult now to get a accurate dimensions of food you eaten

Blueearthgirl ,

Easy to use

This is a great app for tracking your food. Easy to use, and lots of food items loaded.

DaveEman7 ,

Kudos to the developers

I love the ease of use. It helps me keep track of my carbs (and so much more), thus simplifying my paleo lifestyle. A must for anyone who want to achieve weight-loss success!

K2 ancient kingdom ,

Love this app

This app is pretty easy and I have been using it for quite a while and has had no issues what so ever. I have lost 40 lbs using this app in a LCHF diet. Love it love it love it !!

Alley132 ,

Alley132

Awesome to keep me accountable. You can scan bar codes to food at it already has the nutritional information!

bxagrey ,

Great app

Great app that I've been using to control my calories and I've lost 10 pounds so far.


I love that there are no ads and it doesn't get in the way of tracking calories.

MrsJNCraig ,

HUGE Database

Love how easy it is it input food. I have time for this app. Tried MyFitnessPal and it is too time consuming. Mom of a 3 year old and business owner.

localmo ,

Simple to use

I never fracked calories before I used this app. I find it easy and I'm learning about how my diet is impacting my weight.

Jlynnr8183 ,

Awesome

This app is awesome and easy to use. I would like to be able to track my water intake better. And I wish there was a place to track my measurements on it also.

Dark.Dolphin ,

Great IPhone app

Will be excellent when add a personalize futures like: change colors: alerts when near to reach calories, net carbs and others.


I saw the app in a tablet and have another futures that no have into the IPhone... Thanks

Moe51 ,

Like it

Like this app a lot. Very easy to use. Needs to fix the weight tracker. It shows history based on input date, not actual date.

Princess-c ,

soo amazing app

This app soo amazing i can't stop using it in my daily healthy lifestyle... but we need you to add more food & also the TBSP for everything it will be super perfect 👌🏼

Arlo101 ,

No secret here

I love it. Totally reliable, functional, and so incredibly easy to navigate. I use it everyday, and all I need to do is scan a barcode! #HomoProPhysique!

Crazygolfer2 ,

Great App

Terrific app for keeping track of your progress. Has everything you need to help lose weight.

KAW664 ,

Great Health App!

I've been using this app for a few years now and love it! It helps me make great food choices and visually keep track of food Intake.

Ironbeno ,

Great

Love this app I've been using it for a long time and has many great features that will continue use it

examinedliving ,

Really awesome.

Never tried one of these before, but it does everything I need it to and more better than I hoped for.

MissChristi ,

I always come back

I've tried other popular apps, but I always come back to this one. It had been the most effective.

Wideout ,

Needs work

I like the concept and most of the features.. But this program crashes on me a ton.... Esp. With the scan feature.. If they fix the crashing it would be a great program.

Lalsjfjriejshwj ,

Easy to use and efficient

Love the barcode scanner! Also love the options to track different exercises-- good job!

Reno1.1 ,

Love it!!

This app is easy to use. Whether it's entering the food you've eaten or searching for food choices, it is so easy to use. My favorite app!!!!

Happybobbiegirl28 ,

Journal your life

Keeps track of everything all in one app. Tracks weight, calories in/out, nutrition values and exercise.

Weight Man 35 ,

Quick Note on the App

Easy and quick. It has a ton of features I am starting to use as I learn to navigate at round the menus. Highly Recommend

Intuitive Nutritionist ,

Easy to use

Quick and simple way to track food intake and calorie expenditure.

JW.Wolf ,

Well organized!

Great app. So helpful and organized. Thankful for the package scanner and being able to separate out my macros.

PC Thugs ,

What happened to my dashboard!?!?

Dudes! What happened to my dashboard??? I used to have a nice break down of my diet and exercise now I am seeing pictures of stuff other people are eating.


Just cause you can change the app doesn't mean you should-if it ain't broke don't fix it.


Seriously, whatever you did to the app-change it back.

erikachevy ,

One small change

I love the app but I need to be able it manually input macros without it being a food. As soon as I can do this, back to 5 stars!

TiffTheGift ,

Good so far

Some of the things I eat aren't accurate for the calories intake vs what's in the app. Also more items from a variety of places need to be added.

Encyclopedia Dramatica ,

Fantastic app.

Aside from some occasional problems, this app is amazing. I would reccomend this to anyone trying to lose weight.

MagicianKnight ,

Great App!

This app is very useful. The only cons would ba the adds and the couple of times it freezes. I especially enjoy the RDI feature.

acreineke ,

One thing lacking

Overall it is easy to use. My only complaint at this point is I wish that I could enter recipes. Other apps have that option. I may have to keep looking.

SandyLaw ,

Love it n use it daily since 2010

Love this app. use it daily. Hope no ad in future. IPhone camera sometimes doesn't work well. Hope will fix it.

BrettS. ,

Use it everyday!!!!!!!!

I use the Heck!!!! Out of this APP!!! I have lost 135 pounds!!!!!! NO lie 135 pounds..... It does what it says and you can make your own entries for your own recipes.... Love it!!!!!!!! And u have the iPad one too......

TRob2525 ,

Better than My Fitness Pal

I looked at three or four apps like this one and Fat Secret has the best database of foods and the best user interface. It also can be used on multiple platforms.

Jdean10 ,

Good app

I have used both my fitnesspal and mymacros+ this one is as good as the others. I do wish I could edit info when others enter in wrong data.

Looking to think ,

Very functional

I've used this for at least a year now. Works great for tracking calories eaten and burned. I like seeing the net gain or net loss numbers each day- motivating. Also good for monitoring sodium, carbs, fat, protein, etc.

GeneLuree ,

Teacher

Love this app!!! Love how it keeps your history no matter how long it's been...also love the food selections and how most restaurants are there...😍😍😍

Conclabo ,

Cayó 58

Easy to track carbs. Easy to add foods (if you have all the info) easy to find new foods and track the more frequently used foods.

ezbngrn ,

So simple and easy to use

It finds almost everything one cam stuff in their mouth

Woolleybear 5 ,

Most Useful!

Probably the best nutritional app out there. Lots of very accurate info. Great weight tracker. Really well done user interface design.

Mojavefrog ,

Mommy

I absolutely love this app! The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star rating is because the barcode scanner no longer works since I upgraded my iOS.

Fatimoula ,

Very easy to use

I gain too much weight after retiring from dancing. This app has been of great help on this process of calories count and daily exercise! Very easy to use.

Nstern1178 ,

Great!

Love it - went away two weeks out from a comp and really helped me stay on track- I'm a flex dieter and I lost a pound while I was away.

Kkbury ,

Great for LCHF/Keto

I have tried other Apps and this seems to give me great insight to the Macros I'm consuming and really gives excellent options in food searches.

Fat melter ,

Awesome

This app offers a comprehensive monitoring system for everything you put in your body. Do yourself a favor, and get it.

Jeff01091976 ,

Much Improved

A couple of nice updates have been added to this app. It takes a little to get used to but is great overall. 3.5 stars. 4 because it's free.

AussieJLSviper ,

Awesome

Very user friendly! Just the right amount of data presented and very useful. Highly recommend it.

Mdg13 ,

Love it

Love the app, accurate nutrition values. Only thing I would change is find the recipes you enter easier.

Profoundly Disappointed ,

Disappointing.

I had only used this app for about a week. I was just getting used to it. You do have to work at using this app. I updated it on my phone, so I didn't know it would crash. This is extremely disappointing. I have no idea as to how long it will take for the update and if will unfreeze what I already had entered.

Charleenyweeny ,

Love it!

Seriously love this app! It has helped me loose weight for years! I won't use anything else because it works!

HD HOG ,

Great

Great app for keeping you focused on your goal to loose weight. I have found most foods I eat listed. Highly recommend.

Philly86 ,

Love

I love this app so much. I've used it for years. I wish I could sync it up with Fitbit. This app just keeps getting better.

App User 1000 ,

The only calory control app you need

Simple to use but comprehensive, allows pdf summary to be sent or printed.


Daily calory intake is compared to calory usage daily and recorded in diary form.

Elle McQ ,

Fat Secret

I like this app especially when I eat out, I can check out calories before deciding on what to get.

MotoBrute ,

FatSecret

An excellent, well-designed app that's beautifully simple and elegant. You can customize your menu, foods and goals. A great addition to your iPhone arsenal. Best of all, it's free.

rach9979 ,

Great Food Diary

Great way to track calories and keep myself accountable. Rarely have to add a food because it is usually already in the database.

Moona2015 ,

Ms

Love this App very helpful

I just wish you could put in the amount of your serving and not have to go with theirs - on computer I can put .50. But not on the phone. Otherwise I love it!!

Docksales ,

Happy with application.

I think it is amazing how many foods are listed for calories. I like it better than weight watchers.

apple11 ,

Good stuff

I give this a 4.5. Lots of food choices and it's easy to create a profile of your eating habits. This would be a 5 if it suggested ways to make your target weight.

javdvd ,

Excellent app!!

By far the best one and actually is multi platform, so if u have more than one phone there is NO excuse to no track ur calories

Gendii ,

Love this app!

This app is so easy to use and has an appealing interface. It helped me lose the rest of my baby weight.

portraitofgod ,

Perfect!

This app is so incredibly helpful in my journey to lose weight. I love the recipe section of the app... couldn't ask for anything more!

S o u t h p a w ,

Good but...

You should be able to make your own customized foods because certain things like peanuts or milk do not have the same calories as what the app says.

icesicklepop ,

Bug

The last up date was horrible. When you would change the portion size the calories and everything would change for you but it does not do that anymore. Please fix.

Kai Ming ,

Good but could use...

A great app because of the recipes. Sets it apart from other calorie counting apps. However, it would be even better if you could star certain recipes as favorites for quicker search. Thanks

Retread69 ,

Would be great but?

I liked this app right up to the point when I tried the scanner like I use for my fitness pal. That's when I gave it a thumbs down. No way to adjust the settings to access the camera to use scanner function for food items. Fix this and you may have something.

McSOB ,

Love the interface

This has the BEST interface for finding and saving food, and I have tried a lot.

Todd58 ,

Its no secret!

I am telling everyone about this app. Easy to use and enough features to keep me on track!

Malaron ,

No longer syncs

No longer syncs food with the website.. I add food to the website, log into the app, nothing.. Tried the sync button, said it was synced but it lies :-(

Del622 ,

Great way to keep track of intake

I love FatSecret! It really helps me think before I eat knowingly that I'm logging my calories daily. I'm swiftly moving toward my goal!

Kdaddy Kaufmann ,

Great for low-carbers!!!

This app has a great, built-in list of foods. It easily shows you how many grams of fat, carbs, proteins you have eaten. Very easy to navigate too!

Loveland Rogers ,

Very easy to use

This app has been so helpful and effective for tracking what I eat. Knowledge is power.

Agentpaso ,

Wanna lose some pounds??

Get this app and start recording your calorie intake. Lost 6lbs in two weeks already. Stop being fat!

frozen bananas ,

It's just awesome

I'm sure there are other macro tracking apps, but this one has changed my life. Thank you.

Nukkelhead ,

Easy to Use - Best App for Diet & Fitness Tracking

I've tried many fitness and diet tracking apps. This is my favorite app for tracking Diet and Fitness.

Supersede duper ,

Helps me stay honest

I have a tendency to forget the little snacks I eat...which adds up over the day. Imputing them here improves my caloric intake.

Barbk1202 ,

Super easy!!

Super easy to use. It tracks calorie intake and calories burned. Very large food lists to make it easy to track!!

Smoynie ,

Easy to use

Love this app - fast and easy and much more motivating than others I've used

DoyleOwl ,

Major Bug!

When you try to enter anything in your exercise diary, it forces you to weigh in. Fair enough. You enteryour weight an save. Then you try to make an entry in the exercise diary and it forces you to weigh in again. And again. And again. This feature is totally unusable. Please fix.

Cherylann95 ,

Horrible!

Every time I try to use the barcode feature it crashes on me. It did work once but the screen to scan it was stuck on the screen after finding the product & then crashed again.

I like that feature but only if it would really work!

Killer's Dad ,

Good app

Good app. Barcode reader works on my iPhone 4.


Ads at the bottom cover up buttons on some screens. Very difficult to EVER click the app buttons, just ride the ad link when that's what you're not trying to do.

Angelica_A_ ,

Helping me stay on track HFLC diet

So this app has helped me keep track much easier then my fitness pal. It's easier and more thorough

I love it!!!!!

Joecruzes ,

Best App

I used many apps and none of them come close to offering what fat secret does. Closest monitoring system in the market.

VeepGeek ,

Great App

I've used it now for 3 years or more. Any time my weight is creeping up, this is my go-to tool to take it off.

Yorkin 3 ,

Yuk! Hate This App now

I use to use this for looking at nutritional information that I go to for restaurants and finding the carb content and that is now gone! I guess I will try and find a new app that does what this one used to do. Never would have updated it had I known I'd lose all the restaurant information. Useless to me now.

Mombot212 ,

Food diary works for me

I find adding foods to the diary very easy. I also like that you can search by restaurants.

Fiberwoolie ,

Best app

Has more food listed than any app I've found. Every restaurant also. Easy to add your own recipes

LAO 3D ,

Very helpful!

Great way to maintain a weight loss diary, and provides excellent reports in terms of charts, graphs etc. Extremely useful way to help track and regulate your calorie intake and develop better eating habits.

btracey ,

Scan and Boom

Amazing features, easy to track, I haven't found a better app.

Mountaindoc ,

Half and half

Great app for calorie tracking. Workout part has some bugs. Not able to add exercise with iphone 6. Would like to be able to track workouts and weightlifting routine.

Delimont ,

Great app

I love this app. Keeps track of my calories wonderfully. I gain and loose weight very controlled with no problem. I love my saved meal plans too.

Bobpradella ,

Free and easy

Every time I need to adjust my weight down I use this app and it works. It becomes a fun challenge.

WinterCharm ,

Amazing app.

Everything about this app is basically perfect! :)


What I love most, though, is the apple watch component of it.


The reason for 4 stars is that there is a bug with the Apple watch app where the glance freezes and fails to update unless the app is actually open on your phone (instead of doing it when the phone is asleep)


Once the developers fix this minor bug I'll add the final star. ITS PERFECT EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE BUG :)

Nickzap94 ,

Great app!

Great app to help manage what you eat. Very easy to use and they have thought of pretty much everything to help you out.

Wdougoveto ,

Love it

I love this app. It makes tracking my daily food intake easy. It also has excellent reporting features.

Queen Eunice ,

Great tool!

Easy to use and my doctor loves it too! Just wish it could pull daily weigh in from Health Kit where it's updated every day from my glucose app and exercise etc.

LarJ Tide ,

Very useful

I've been using this app for years! I love everything about it. Keeps me in check.

Ftopel ,

Best calorie app

I've tried them all. Fat secret is the easiest and includes the most brand name foods so I can keep an accurate calorie count.

Maureen Shea ,

Keeps me honest

This app helps keep me honest and has helped tremendously in helping me understand my body and it's needs I HIGHLY recommend !!

Bawka ,

Make it so easy

Everything I eat I can find even brand name things like McDonald's, and their barcode scanning tool is awesome!

reviewer01138 ,

Good app

Not all items are in the database, PLEASE let us be able to put in our own figures for said items. This app is amazing unless I come across a food that doesn't exist in the database, then I'm screwed bc I can't track my macros for that meal.

Kiki8123 ,

Easy to use!

Love this app. Has practically every food I need to log, including restaurant food and fast food items. Easy to keep track of what I've eaten.

monicanski ,

Solid app; visually appealing

I used My Fitness Pal for a while, but found the app clunky and awkward. Fat Secret works better for me: it's visually appealing and super easy to use!

Arranmommy ,

Everything I need

Great app for calorie tracking, has scan bar for packaged foods. Also includes exercise component. Love it!!

Joyfullie ,

Fanatstic

Wonderful app for anyone who seriously wants to track their progress. This helped changed my lifestyle.

Islaie ,

Needs an update

Usually I would give this app 5 stars but it's constantly timing out and crashing. Maybe needs to be updated to be more compatible with the new iOS?

eloh31 ,

Easy app for calorie counters

Easy to use to count calorie and keep track of carbs, protein, and fats. Has a ton of restaurants already build in. You can add your own too

Alli Preston ,

Fat Secret rocks

Love this app. Really keeping me on track to looking and feeling better. Huge database of foods makes it easy to use!

Izidari ,

Best Out There

Out of all the FREE calorie trackers, this one is the best. Most trackers dont have scanning capabilities and recipes! Not to mention this app has many restaurant foods as well!

Missing WW Points ,

WW Points

Please bring back the WW points. Awesome app until it was removed. If it was an issue with Weight Watchers, just call it a point value like the other apps, and drop the (ww). I lost almost 30 lbs using this app. Very helpful while I was working or shopping on what I could eat for lunch or dinner.

Andiana97 ,

Have used for years!!

A wonderful easy to use app - been using it for years!!

Xxuchihaxx ,

Excelent aplication

So easy to diet with this app, and you can edit the calories you want to eat over the day, excellent on refeeding days.

Peanutty421 ,

iOS 8 issues

The app was great until iOS 8, now when activating the scanner it causes the app to crash. Even with this newest update clicking on scan barcode crashes the app.

Charlotte Vogt ,

Fat secret

Does me a lot of good. Keeps my sugar on track and lose a little weight to. Helps me find foods I want. Over all just great.

KBBocox ,

Almost perfect

Everything is really accurate. Just wish more healthy brands were uploaded and various protein shakes. I do like that new foods can be manually entered.

HollySuz ,

Great!

I love this ap! My husband and I are both using it and are losing weight successfully. It's easy and convenient!

User nyc777 ,

Well conceived app

Definitely serves the purpose I got it for. Well thought out and easy to use.

Kathyw4 ,

Great App for Keeping Track of Weight

Easy to use and 90% of what I eat is in their database. Great way to see why, (or why not), I'm losing weight.

Mitchelicious ,

Highly recommended!

Best calorie & exercise tracker i've ever used. Knowing your calorie deficit at the end of the day and month is awesome. Plus, it's free. Gotta try it.

LENan74 ,

Great

Easy to use app and has tons of food choices. Would like to see, though, a water intake tracker as well as a way to enter what time a given food/meal was eaten.

tomandzima ,

Easy to use

Great tracking would like to be able to sync up to fitness tracker but not sure how to do it.

Poo Dev ,

Love it

This is the best calorie counter app that I have seen. It has so many functions. I love it. Try it you won't regret it.

Gregjp ,

Great app!

Really easy to use. Perfect for me tracking a low carb diet. Amazing amount of foods already known by the app. Highly recommend.

6CL8DNFL ,

Great app for phone!

I like the way it links up to the website too. Easy to use.

D2Massey ,

Easy to use

I found this App effective and easy to use. As a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, I prefer the method of counting calories versus points. So much simpler.

MAprea ,

Love it!

Great way too control what you eat and lose weight at the same time. Eat healthy eat smart.

C59300 ,

Work in progress

I really like the app. It's easy to use. I only wish it broke down the macronutrients per meal rather than the whole day.

Heston_Swallow ,

Great for tracking!

A must have for tracking food and weight.

Tcarverj ,

Love it

I really love this app but I had to find something with an off line option for my iPod. Would come back if you had that.

Traher ,

Awesome

Had this for droid and loved it. For iPod touch even better. Forget "lose it" this is the counter to have

Stephknowswine ,

Recipes

Love the app...only found one recipe: Oatmeal Bacon Cookies" that mentions eggs and there are no eggs in the ingredient list!

I'm new to this app...is there anyone I can contact for this recipe?

Without this minor issue, it would be 5 stars!!!

DCinGV63 ,

Great app but barcode scanner does not work

Have used this app off and on for years. Works great. Recently cannot get scanner to work, just keeps taking you back to settings. Please fix.

Patina me pretty ,

Can you pair up with FITBIT??

I love this app for calorie tracking. Can pair up with FitBit for fitness tracking?? Please? Currently I have to use both apps to track my fitness because I don't like the layout and breakdown of the FitBit calorie tracker. Please pair up!

saxman07 ,

I love this App!

This app is so easy to use and very helpful!! I have already lost 9 lbs in the first two weeks of using it!

MandaPants916 ,

Awesome App!

Very user friendly and reliable. It does everything I need. I use it daily and it never gives me drama👍

IM Specialized ,

Great application

I've been using the application for over a year and find it very useful

Syamx ,

The best fat riddance app ever

I love how you can easily track progress and enter all sorts of foods not just the prescribed ones. Seeing the arrows go down on the weighing scale section is just awesome and motivating!

BobCorder777 ,

Great app

I'm always into dieting but I've never notice the quantity of my foods, with this app my dieting became easier and better. Enjoy it.

BDSalpagar ,

The best app

This is the best app on the market. I have tried quite a few. It's very easy to use and I enjoy it a lot !

Jokerrulz1 ,

Big help !!!

This app has helped me to lose 110 pounds by keeping track of everything I eat !!!

Youngclaire ,

New update new problem

I love this app it was only given 4 stars because it times out sometimes and then logs you out.

CldBear84 ,

Fat Secret

I love this app for tracking food. It puts what I eat in perspective. I can also upload it to my trainer which holds me accountable.

Kclarkie7114 ,

excellent its helps so much

I've lost 27 pounds in a month using this app eating right and exercising!!! I love this app and will continue to use it and succeed! 😃

JesCab1 ,

Won't let me continue Bc it says I need to consult a DR

Didn't even get to use the app Bc it's stupid and says I need to consult a doctor based on my height and weight. All I wanted to do was track my calories. Such a waste! I'm no where near obese. Not even as big as the average American woman. I guess this is made for the models that need to count their calories.

Cheetah_three ,

The best

This is hands down the BEST and most user friendly dietary program I've ever used and it's completely free.

Shawn102674 ,

Good app

This is a good app. However it was better when u could put the exact amount u eat. Now you have to us quarter half and whole ounces to measure

Steve...Steve ,

Doesn't work

I had high hopes for a good app but it never let me through the initial set up. Kept saying my goal weight was too low for my height and that I should seek a doctor. I changed height and weight and it kept giving the error. There was no way to bypass it. The height and goal weight I inputted was not remotely under weight (6' 200 lbs)

X cookie ,

Fantastic!

This app has helped me watch my food intake. Never realized how much I ate. Great app for anyone who is trying to watch their weight.

Serculios ,

Change is bad

Worked great until the entry screens changed one day and made it confusing to enter info. Enter detail went in a loop and enter path did not make sense. Great until then but all changed to a frustrating process in one day.

RWilliamNY ,

It Helped Me

This app for the past year helped me lose weight. If you are dedicated to it, it works by helping. I lost 40lbs

Kati784 ,

Large database

I downloaded it yesterday and haven't found anything the database didn't know. Love it so far!

4.4 mil son ,

great redesign

New app looks great! All the previous bugs with iOS 8 have been fixed

Gutierda69 ,

This app is awesome

If you use this app and don't lie to yourself you will definitely achieve your weight loss goals!!

Trevie3 ,

Less buggy and less ads than myfitnesspal

Nice

KrisGeis ,

Helps me eat less

So easy to keep track of what your eating and how much.

Hfdhnbgyg ,

Always Timing Out

Almost half the time I use this app it times out and won't let me put in ANY macros. Really getting annoyed at this point as it seems like it happens almost every day...

WithcyW ,

Witchy W

Love this app! Makes you think about portion sizes. Love that it has the restaurant food details. Two weeks down 6.5 pounds.😀

Aaronsanchez24 ,

Rate

It's amazing. It helps a lot to keep track of your calories and work out

Camjam89962 ,

So far so good

So far I like this sight from all the other ones I tried. I will come back in a month and let you know more about it.....

ramon.hernandez ,

Crashing!

Great app until now. It was working well until last update. It crashes every time I want to scan something. Now I have take extra time to search the right item. Makes me not want to use it.

Christiiiiii ,

Excellent!!!! Love it!!!!

I have tried several calorie counters and always come back to this FREE one. It's GREAT!!!! Comes with a scanner that always finds what I'm eating.

Orlando Review ,

Good but needs to be better

Great database and tools. But can be slow to load. Camera for scanning barcodes appears to be broken. Haven't been able to use it on my 4s.

PicklesCorona ,

Love it

Fat secret, the app and the community have been a HUGE help in my way to weight loss. Easy to use and accurate.

ChloeKing102399 ,

Chloe-FatSecret

I like FatSecret because it had the most accurate nutritional information and easy to use.

Cactus Jacque ,

Very helpful

As a recently diagnosed diabetic I find this app very helpful to choose which foods to avoid. Great for weight loss too

AngelWhite23 ,

Better than my Fitness Pal

It's user friendly. Easy buttons

NimrodSonOfCush ,

Great program

Syncs smoothly between phone app and website. Easy entry. Smaller database than MFP, but much more reliable.

xoxojennanicole ,

Greatest ever

I've used this for years gets better each time

Blackfire66 ,

Absolutely great!

The bar scan and community contributed items in particular makes this amuse have for anyone counting cal/prot/carb etc.

Olgica ,

Great App

This is just full of information! the best thing would be to have a way to figure out WW points within the app. Otherwise this app rocks!!!!

Mtrx804 ,

Great app...BEFORE last update.

I never comment on apps but this has been frustrating me beyond belief. Since the last update my wife and I get a network timeout error as soon as opening app and when trying to add items.

Before the app it was awesome

Langworthym ,

Great App

Love this app, great food database. Wish there was a way to "bookmark" a recipe so it was easier to find again another day.

Mzluv220 ,

App no longer works in IOS 8 for IPhone

Love the app but can't be used due to the upgrade of the iPhone.:(

Tiff tiff84 ,

Glitchy after iOS update

Glitchy since iOS update. I cannot delete food under my daily meals if I accidentally save

something. Closes out randomly.

Surferdude609 ,

Best app for macros!

I've tried most of the other free calorie counters and this app by far is the best for recording macros and staying at a certain calorie intake.

Rhakotis ,

Simply the Best!

Simply the Best app for tracking food/exercise. With the iOS 8.0 upgrade its even better!

HummingbirdRS ,

Hate the name but LOVE the app

Best free app for fat loss I've tried thus far (have tried livestrong and at least three unmemorable others)

pattymom8 ,

Way better than MFP

So much easier with macros and seems like the food database is larger

SMDJax ,

Good tool

Works well for keeping you honest. It is a little glitchy ( especially the barcode scanner) but I love it all the same.

Pasinbyyou ,

Best Calorie

This is the best calorie counter app I've found. Most goods, basically accurate and easy to use

Christian Brown ,

We need a update for the iOS release

The app works great but with the new IPhone 6 and IOS 8 there are many issues. Please hurry with the update.

pattysj ,

Very useful

Helped me lose weight. Great way to keep track of calories intake and calories burned.

ItsHaht ,

Great app!

Simple and straightforward. Had weight loss surgery and need to track my protein. This app easily does it. Lots of foods to chose from. Love this app!

vlsummey ,

Eff Your Update

I loved this app before the most recent update. I've been using it for months and I preferred it over all the other food tracking apps, including MyFitnessPal. But seriously, this update really blows. Whoever is behind your new interface should be fired. Revert your format and I'll revert my rating.

grammiemiami ,

Great APP...Terrible Name

Easy to use, especially with the barcode reader. Needs a category that stores user's recipes.

jcherringfish ,

Great app!!

Would definitely recommend it to all my friends!

AlphaFaith ,

Just Use it - It works

I don't eat anything without recording in app. I've lost 47lbs and it feels great.

Sherysherihan ,

Excellent & so easy to use

An excellent app., easier than other calories counter apps . So helpful .

CG5189 ,

Liking the app, but the date is off (one day behind)

The date is off by a day. Please put out a fix asap.

Tpattit ,

Best tracker I've seen

Excellent food/activity tracker w a huge database attached. Very easy to use. Will be a five star app once they get the buggy bar scanner working.

Txhwys ,

Horrible now!!!

This used to be a great app! Not anymore. Took off weight watchers points! If the end goal is to help people lose weight then accommodating all diets should be goal. I would pay for to be included with this app! Now update fails with barcode scanner and locks up phone. Don't waste your time!!!!

RowdyRoost ,

Great app!

Meets all my needs with calorie counting and weight tracking. I use it everyday and it's simple to use.

Pbrell ,

Love it!

This app has helped me so much by keeping track of my food and weight.

Budmull ,

Disappointed on iPhone

I used this app for a long time on a Droid and loved it. Not nearly as good for iPhone. Can't back up in a restaurants menu to add additional items. Search/recent bar too small so can't tap wo hitting back button.

ryanhelms ,

Use it daily

I am a competitive physique athlete and I use this every day to track my macros. I like it over MFP bc it displays your macros right on the main screen.

Ben839ndieg82616 ,

Proper support for 6+ please

Look, I'm not going to tank your rating but can you please scale the UI on the 6+? It's gigantic. 6S+ will be out soon as well.

Sramp171 ,

Need more meals

Add customizing meals to be able to have more than breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks. I eat meals 1-5 and hate having to throw food in snacks. Once this is fixed its 5 stars from me

Kthompson12 ,

Love it

I've been using FatSecret for 4-5 years; through all of my ups and downs, but stayed consistent. Love the accountability.

Panksi ,

Great application

Date has been fixed guys. The new update is available now. Love it.....:)

Striknbarb ,

Useful but somewhat annoying

Ever since the "update" it crashes all the time! That needs to be fixed soon!

QueenOndi ,

THIS APP KEEPS CRASHING!!!

Right before I am about to save my menu choice for meals, the app kicks me out! This is very frustrating. I know this app is free, but it's a powerful tool, and I'm willing to pay if this will resolve this issue.

Mizzlemel ,

Great

I use this daily and so does my fiancé! I have lost a few lbs and am more aware of what I eat, especially at restaurants. Great great great free app! Thanks! :)

Great Food Tracker

I've tried MyFitness, CalorieKing, other food trackers, but by far this is the best!! Always can find my foods, edit servings.

MarcAlviar ,

Best app ever!

Very simple to use and great for keeping track of your weight and what you eat!

Julesronk ,

Update

I loved this app till the newest update. :0( I loved using the bar snanner and keeping track of my ww points. I am now going to have to search for another app and just delete this one cause it doesn't meet my needs anymore.

Becka82 ,

Great but...

I like that it's helping me keep track of my food intake. I wish there were more restaurant choices though, and a way to do partial serving sizes.

Ann S D ,

Still missing a few features

Please fix the barcode feature. Before iOS8, it worked perfectly.

Mattandabbie ,

Way better than MyFitnessPal

It's fast.

It's easy.

I tried My Fitness Pal for a week...hated it, and came back home.

Mari227 ,

User friendly

Great app, simple to use and love that you can add your own recipes.

Slaughtermouth ,

2 thumbs up

Great app would recommend to anyone and everyone.

nvm313 ,

LOVE

I love this app! I use it to track my carbs and calories to help me lose weight and to help me calculate how much insulin to give myself at meals.

moceansylvia ,

Mocean Sylvia

I love fat secret because it indirectly teaches me what I am eating. It makes me accountable. I have had and continue to work with this app.

Ahamad Christopher lee ,

Essential macro app

Makes counting macronutrients fast & easy! Definitely recommend

AbbysPop1950 ,

Great App

Allows you to monitor everything you eat. Easy to use.

Natalycb ,

Better than before!

Thank you for the fix! Great update!

derickrae ,

Works

I'm able to find whatever food I need.

Pattianne61 ,

Great!!

Have only had the app a month and have got half to my goal! This is a wonderful app

Gonzapali ,

Very good!

Easy to use, syncs perfectly. Could have more variety of food to choose. It is difficult to include food yourself.

RobertBest ,

Tough but fair

I hate counting what I eat, following what I do, but it works. And as much as I don't want to do it, it pulls through for me. Thanks FatSecret

Colenelson13 ,

Great

Love this app. Great if you actually know what you're doing and want to keep track of your macros

Drag0nSilver ,

Still the best

Even better.

---original review---

iOS 8 crashes are gone! the new UI rocks!

Great app

I have been using it religiously and it helps me stay on track

janing08 ,

Great App!

Easy to use. Recommended for anyone trying to keep track of their calorie intake.

Eufreka ,

Please fix barcode scanner!

Could put up with a lot of its other (many) quirks if only the scanning worked...which it definitely does NOT!

chezon ,

Please take my weight off the home page

I want to show my friends the app, but not if the can see my weight from the home page of the app!

Jmt304 ,

Ms

I love this app!! Makes calorie counting easy and fun. My favorite part is the barecode scanner because it works so quickly.

Reallyppl? ,

Awesome!

Only problem is, there is no way to delete exercises and the barcode scanner doesn't work.

VBriseño ,

NEEDS A BETTER BARCODE SCANNER!

I started using this app a couple months ago intill I downloaded My Fitness Pal. When I try to scan the barcode on my food it takes so long for this barcode reader to catch it. NEEDS UPGRADE, IMPROVEMENT ASAP for a quick barcode system!

bigt1600 ,

Great app

Awesome app but please put in an update for ios8 because the app isn't working properly at the moment.

In SLC ,

iOS 8 issue

Too many problems with this app on iOS 8. It has been my favorite food tracking app, but they need to update it to be compatible soon, or I may have to switch back to myfitnesspal.

Chris Purcell ,

Great app

Love this app!!! Does quite literally everything I need it to in order to meet my trainers demands. Counts macros, calories, anything! Love it!

Conhoward ,

FatSecret

Now that I'm used to using this app I am beginning to like it as much as I like the Lose It app

Bills 23 ,

Love this app!

Easy to use, easy to search for foods to input, easy to modify or edit an entry. I love how simple it is!

beatjunkie1 ,

decent app except...

great, easy to use app when it works. it times out about 40% of the time which is frustrating. if they ever fix that I'd give them 5.

None too happy cook ,

UGH! What Did you do to this with the update?!

What a hot mess! The gerbil wheel function when trying to enter portion sizes is frustrating because it doesn't stay put. I could go on about all the other mess-ups, but it would take too long. Bring the old version back!

Hammer576 ,

Thank you for fixing app!

Repaired app in timely manner. Thank you. This is my favorite app for food tracking.

Shassmom3 ,

Life changing app!

This app has been a huge help making healthy changes in my life!

JacLip ,

App does not work right with iOS8.0

I have been using Fat Secret for some time now and noticed since I updated my iPhone to iOS8.0, the app is not working right. Can't load exercises and can delete or correct a food entry once it is entered. Pls fix it.

Pmacktaylor ,

Mom of a type 1 diabetic

We use this app to help us on the go with diabetes & it's been a life saver for figuring out carbs for insulin.

Chibitz123 ,

Please make it stop force close

Every other time I use this app, the network times out and it tells me to try again later. A few hours later, same error. I think I need to use a new app.

Janie58 ,

Great app

Helpful in regards to counting calories, watching fat, carbs, protein and sugar. I would recommend using this application for anyone who is trying to start a new healthy lifestyle.

Le Grand Inquisiteur ,

Great app for counting calories

Would give 5/5 but there is to way to edit if you add nutrition info and then discover it is not accurate.

Gramsgarden ,

FatSecret

Convenient and extremely helpful ap. So many features I like.

Belaugh86 ,

Fatsecret review

The date is behind one day, which is really annoying when trying to track food on a daily basis. please upgrade this issue and I would use it every day.

Madi25 ,

I love this app!

Never had any problems with it crashing!

Beastmodealwayson ,

Thank god!!

Thank god for this update I was about to uninstall. Now the app works like it should finally!! I was gonna go to myfitnesspal but now I don't have to

dveara ,

Most recent update is a FAIL!

I'm having the same issues as other long time users. The previous version was much easier to use and navigate. Now, I can't add exercises and the dates are all off by one day. I hope these bugs get fixed soon.

Awake4true ,

Great help!

The app is simple enough to navigate on the go. It's a great companion to the website but doesn't stand alone to see challenges or journal entries.

Twppppoo ,

Best app ever.

Have used many other apps in the past but this one by far is the best!!

I have to poop now ,

Simple

Simple. Easy to use. Effective. I recommended this app to many friends.

FatSecret App

Excellent App. Really allows you to track your meals and calorie intake. Love the list of restaurants and brand name recognition

jdcriswell ,

Great app

Helps you take control of your life, calories, workouts, and sleep!

Carter61 ,

You can actually work this app to help you

And it helps to be tied in with your coach.

Beyourbest78 ,

Needs more

I love the tracker! But it needs more! I'm in challenges on the website, why can't you do more with the app??! Like see ur challenges and forums. I want it to be more involved!

Fsa mom2 ,

Great app

Has a very comprehensive food list! Only one item I wasn't able to find so far.

Elliot Chalme ,

Needs one thing

Has so many foods! Excellent! But. It NEEDS to deduct your excersise from your calories u need to update the whole excersise section

Alix Elizabeth ,

Great app!

One small suggestion - please add a tracker for water consumption. That's very important for health regardless of whether you are trying to lose weight or gain weight.

butterbabie ,

Good App, Update issue

The dates are incorrect since the most recent update. The App no longer knows what day it is. Today is Oct 1 but the app thinks it's Sept 30.

dc_concepts ,

Frustrating

Great app, easy to use and functional.

Boomerbillforever ,

Quick and easy

The best and fastest source of useful nutritional information.

Rhomer23 ,

Great tool!

I credit Fat Secret almost entirely for my 30-lb. weight loss over a two-year period.

Great App

Does everything I need it to. Extensive list of foods. Very user friendly. Exercise list ok.

Javaconnie ,

Great App

Easy to use tons of pre loaded normal foods found in most grocery stores as well as restaurant foods.

Rossilli ,

Almost 5 stars.

I love the website, and this app is just as easy, if not easier.

This would get 5 stars from me if the barcode reader worked.

You can put the barcode in by hand, which is cool, but the calories and info don't alway jive.

I don't know if it is the apps fault or the parent company of the product.


Anyway. . . worth a download. Plus. . . It's FREE!

Bboyblanc ,

Pleased

VEry good and useful app. Only down fall is the barcode scanner doesn't work for me. Other than that five stars.

stclair55 ,

amazing!!! But CRASHES!!

This app is awesome and is so helpful. Both of my parents and I use it like crazy! But mine crashes! But theirs on their HTC Hero smart phone doesn't crash!!

Puzlr654321 ,

Lousy changes in latest version

Green theme is terrible. On-screen icon change loses the app meaning. No real improvements, such as allowing the user to chain selections without re-entering the restaurant for each selection.

Djsmi9008 ,

App is excellent,

FatSecret is a very underrated service. It provides more than just calorie counting. There is a whole community on FatSecret.

Josie215215 ,

Good

The app itself is good. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work. Sometimes I get a "network timed out" message whether I'm on wifi or not. If not for this I'd rate higher.

Just a girl from Arizona😁😁 ,

It's a little confusing

It's a little confusing. I lost 3 pounds in one day and it is not putting it in as my "lost so far"

Buggs17 ,

Go back to the other version

I used to love this app. I hate the new set up. I can't find anything now. I also wish it had a place to add water intake.

AdventureInOils ,

Love it

I love the library of foods, how it helps me balance carbs, fats, protein! Very easy to use and excellent for recording and keeping records.

Cornut meets fartface ,

Easy to use and motivating!

Love this app! Easily helps me to keep track of my eating and exercise. I've already lost 6 pounds.

Felicks ,

Could be better

It's a great app but after my last update it keeps kicking me out. But it's a great app to count calories when it works.

Fredito22 ,

Exellent

I love this app, I use it every day. Exellent tool to keep track and watch your health. Keep it up!

Lou-nee ,

Fantastic Ap! Great at keeping me on tract! Love the food library as it makes it fast and easy to use.

Good app

Fat secret is very reliable for monitoring your weight loss!! I would recommend it to anyone!!!

Irt4pgh ,

Great app

Easy to use. Count macros which is helpful for ketogenic approach to eating. Glad I found this app!

Triple Nickel Ranch ,

Update

I agree with other recent reviews. This app is useless to me without the points calculation.

That was the main reason I downloaded it in the first place.

It was such a fantastic app before. What happened??

Hndrc ,

Great, when it actually works

This app was fantastic...until the last update was installed. Now it's crashing every time it's opened. Will be deleting this one and finding a more reliable alternative unless the app starts working asap.

Nyancat2005 ,

Super

This app is great and makes keeping my macros so much easier. I love the bar scanner.

JimDandyJim ,

Losing weight

Great app! I've lost close to 18 pounds in seven weeks just by tracking what I eat using Fat Secret.

Sumurfyy ,

AMAZING!

This app has helped me not only loose weight, but be aware of what i put in my body and teach me about health

Badbadwolf ,

Pretty Awesome

If you want to dial in your macros, this app definitely helps with that and a lot more.

RobtWhit ,

I loved this app

... and would still be using it if it did not any provocative ads. If there were an upgrade to do away with ads I would come back in a heartbeat. I hope they do so I can.

Rprielipp ,

Was good before iOS 8

Worked great before iOS 8. Now there are nothing but issues including you can't access restaurants, add exercises, etc. sent an email to customer service days ago and no response. Guess I have to look for a new app.

MyBestFriendASparrow ,

# 1 Stars Fan ,

What happened to the WW points?

Bring back the weight watcher points! I lost 40 lbs. with this App. I would like to use it to maintain my weight. Great app when used with points!! Was 5 star now a 3.

Connie107 ,

great app…can you add water amount tracker

Love the app - it was suggested by the biggest lose camp. Can you add a water 8 oz counter on the main page?

Drmich ,

Won't let me enter exercise

Although I have entered my weight about 10 times, it keeps prompting me to enter my weight before it can calculate my energy expenditure from exercise. All the food data in the world isn't helpful if I can't calculate my calories OUT.

ANDUJAR 0409 ,

Great app

Need to print the recipes or save to my computer.

Work on it. Real great app and very helpful.

Prtybrwneyes ,

Love it!

Mombabynursedoc ,

Nice app!

Sammiejo8 ,

Great app

Wish it had more specific workouts listed but all around great

Givin' Up ,

HATE the Update

Up until today, I loved this app. I HATE that I have to look at pictures of other users meals when I open the home page. I don't care what other people are eating. How do I stop that?

Dinestein ,

Great duet app

Love this app even after purchasing the weight watchers app. It's much more precise and covers more foods.

KK2JJ ,

Best ever

Despite strange name, the app is amazing to keep track & stay motivated. I absolutely love it & I is so easy to use.

Kperry1989 ,

Awesome sauce!!

I love this app! It's super user friendly and really helps me keep track of my calories.

justingenius1 ,

Fix Your Servers

I keep getting network timed out errors and only with this app. Freaking annoying because I just ate and weighed myself and can't freaking record my activities in the app, and I'm not gonna remember all the details later...

GetnsmallR ,

Will lose if you use!

This is the best food tracker!

Resources galore! I have tracked every meal, snack and beverage and the pounds are falling off me!

Angelacez ,

What happened?!

I use I love this app, there is so much less info than before. I can't track my carbs or fats or proteins. I'm going to find a different app. Sorry, the updates made it seem like they were just starting their app. Not impressed at all.

Not working with Apple Watch

It does what it's supposed to do in the phone, but there's no notification or reminder in Apple Watch.

Date

This application is wonderful! But it is completely useless for me without the correct date, which is exactly one day behind! PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP!!!!!!!!!

gabie511 ,

Great app

This is a great app, but missing a key piece of info that would have been helpful. Calories allowed for the day. If this can be added, I'd rate it a 5 star!

Helyne A. ,

Has potential

Is very handy and easy to use, but not when it crashes all the time.

Like A Best Friend

Fat Secret is like a best friend because it knows my weight, what I eat, and my goals. It reminds me to weigh-in and suggest recipes. <3 Fat Secret

Great app! I use it everyday!

Scanner needs update

How about getting the scanner to work with the I-pod? I have several other scan programs that work just fine. You've been ignoring this problem for many months now...

Cowgirlwild ,

Excellent App

GOD BLESS U! on making this wonderful application really love it. very easy to used and very helpful ..... Thank u!

Gsxrraca ,

App is great but barcode scanner doesn't work, and make a menu to view and make saved meals

Loved the previous version

I realize I'm not the only one. The previous version was really great. Also currently the searches timeout on me a lot.

Ok but

The ads make it nearly impossible to select "Sync".

StevenRN ,

LOVE IT

I love this app!! It helped me lose 50 lbs! I keeps track of everything at once! Love it!

Pandapoledancer ,

App is great until today

App is amazing, however whatever update just happened causes "an unexpected error occurred" on every single thing I do. Please fix it I need this awesome app back.

epa1309 ,

Great app

I really like this app. It is easy to use and the food database is very comprehensive.

I was trying to gain weight due to loss from cancer and cancer surgery. FatSecret kept me on my toes. Love it.

Roofie Doofie ,

Great App for weight loss!

Love this app! Never realized how much I ate until I started logging it.

DRJ432 ,

Great app

Love the app. Makes it easy to keep up with intake and body weight.

Hanksdave ,

Slow slow slow

Prior versions of this app were great. But this new layout is sluggish. Recording new weight is painfully slow and too many clicks

adel kattan ,

Great application

One of the countable application which works perfectly and free thanks for this app 😊

Raqyd11 ,

Best App for Keto

I tried all of them and this one is best for tracking progress on Keto

dMt_@u2me! ,

Mrs.

The barcode scanner freezes my iPhone every time I use it. Everything else about this app is excellent!

Miz Pinkie ,

Can't diet without it!

This app has changed my diet lifestyle.

Dieselb100 ,

Ads

Was great until the latest "bug fix". Now ads appear at the bottom and interfere with the functionality of the app. I keep hitting the damned ads by mistake which I guess is part of the design now. I see a downward trend with this app.

Catosie ,

Fantastic!

I really love this app it helps me keep on track and motivated.

Elicia92 ,

AWSOME

So far this app is really simple and easy to learn and is very user friendly.

Tammy WB. ,

Love it but...

I love this app and I use it every day. But.... You need to teach it to calculate sugar alcohol correctly. They are not carbs. It will be a 5 star app then. Thank you.

Azizi704 ,

Great app

This is a really great app. It helps me count calories and helps me to monitor my weight

LeroyTheDog ,

I find this app very well done. Works very well.

Kjgutz ,

Connect with Polar

I have a polar m400 and I would completely give up MFP if you guys had connection to Polar.

Very Good App

Love the net carbs tracking capabilities. Searching for food could be slightly enhanced a bit - but overall great app!

GaryB234 ,

Easy To Use

Easy to use app. Makes tracking diet and exercise simple.

Toppans ,

Please, Please Fix!

Loved the app until iOS8. Can't edit to change amounts, can't advance pages looking for a food item. Please fix soon or I will have to look for another app.

D.Liz818 ,

Ok

I would give it more stars but it's always crashing when I try to add food. Frustrating.

Ruffee10 ,

LOVE!!

I love the app. It's as great as the website but obviously far more convenient!

Muela0715 ,

This is an amazing tool. I've lost over 30 lbs!

Please change the food diary back to the way it was. This used to be my favorite app until it was updated.

littlemonster111113 ,

Good App

I like keeping track of my food intake. This app helps a lot.

Love this app

Super easy to use. Helps me stay on track.

LilyKAtx ,

Works great for me.

Great app to track your macros when you are following a LCHF diet.

Notinthislifeanymore ,

Perfect

Actually it's more than perfect

AnnueOakley ,

Great App

This app Really helps me to track food, exercise, and stay on diet.

rick hw ,

Not perfect

I will give it more stars as soon as they fix their nutritional data, e.g., an entire bottle of red wine is claimed to contain 125g of protein (I hope that this is simply a misplaced decimal), I could maybe imagine a bottle of wine containing as much as 0.125g protein.

styna85 ,

Fat Secret is the best!

Excellent app for weight loss

Lost 12lbs, thanks to this excellent app.

It would give it 5 stars if the app can sync the potassium, calcium, values with HealthKit, too.

Overexaggerated

This app is helpful and all but I looked up a gingerbread pop tart to put in my list of foods eaten and it said that 1 pop tart was 70,000,000 no kidding so I'm tempted to delete

Father Maxno ,

Totally useless!

1. When switching to barcode scanner - the app crashes

2. When adding some personal saved food - you can't add any nutrition info

3. Low DB of international food, useless when traveling

Please improve!

SouliveSounds ,

Need a fix for iOS8

Desperately needs a fix for iOS8. Can't add exercise anymore and crashes if I try to sync. Please! I love this app!

Fix the TOS Agreement bug! Can't update!

How frustrating is it when it tells you you have to agree to new terms of service, but when you agree, it stays stuck in a loop..won't recognize I've agreed! Dumb!

Rosie30265 ,

Ms.

This used to be a great app. Not anymore. Bring back the previous, pre-update version, or I'll just switch to another one. The current version is horribly unfunctional. I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone.

Camila_10 ,

What's going on with the app?

Since I updated my software to iOS8, this app keeps crashing and crashing. I already have deleted it and reinstalled it, but I've done worse! It is really disappointing!

Jam743 ,

Great app

I use it mostly for calorie counting. It works great. It searches fast and shows recently eaten foods.

I had this app until I realized all the nutritional information was incorrect in their database. So I deleted it. I was really looking forward to an app like this that shows fats carbs protein etc..I'm really disappointed!!

Fat & Carb Charting

Great way of finding foods that we eat, breakdown of carbs, fats, protein, calories and method for putting in favs that may not be listed.

Johndmet ,

MyFitnessPal is a joke

Compared to how darn awesome FatSecret is. Fat secret is unbelievably powerful. And it's free. Do your body a favor and download it.

Ayeyocurtis ,

Awesome

You monitor your calories, lose weight. Great app

rox250 ,

Use it and lose it!!

Really enjoy this app. It's so helpful in my eating and exercising goals

Leo18890 ,

Can't just track calories.

No option to just enter a calorie amount. If you just want to enter calories you have to make specialized foods and juggle them to get the calories.

HBrookman ,

Results

It is so easy & nice to track my intake.

Yguberer ,

Not complicated, thorough, helpful

Really versatile and simple yet complete ap

Lcmtalcm ,

Not worth the trouble

This might work for some but it takes to long to find foods. Too many restaurant foods and not enough normal everyday stuff.

LSuzanneB ,

I used to love it before IOS8

It used to give you lots of nutritional information in the app. Now it's gone and I have to go to the website to see what my daily stats are. Go back to the old food journal!!!

This was a great app! But they have removed the WW points tracker and now I will have to find a differnt app to follow my points. This is a poor update and I hope that they fix it!

Where'smynetcarbs ,

Stella

I loved this app, why did you change the nutrition screen? It's hard to read compared to the one prior and where is the net carb count? Wish I hadn't updated, dang it....

Clark Cox ,

Would be perfect, but

the barcode scanner doesn't work on my iPhone 4.

Crittr12 ,

Surprised this ap is free!! Best food diary ever! Would highly recommend!!

Usedtobe_ifb ,

Exactly what I was looking for BUT....

How do I delete exercises??? It kind of skews the results when there are exercises that I did not do! Please add a delete for exercises!!!

Sashazur ,

Messed up on iPad 2

On iPad 2, the 2x button doesn't work, and the app freezes when I try to change a food quantity.

Dhvttt ,

Was .. So helpful

Now we have to scroll alllllll the way to the bottom to see our total calories and I don't like how the macronutrient breakdown is set up now. It was much better before the update

Way better than MFP in my opinion.

Do Not Update

This was my favorite app until the update. They no longer have the weight watchers point system, the reason for this great app. Will have to look for a new one.

Brandi16 ,

Not as cool as it was.....

Before the upgrade I used the Weight Watchers counter every day. But now it's gone and the app is kinda useless to me. Please bring the WW options back, please?

Bixdog ,

Still crashing

Version 2.0.1 crashes my iPod (3.1.3). I'd really like to be able to use this app, because the FatSecret website has been really indispensible. Please ffind a way to make this thing work!

Awesome app but

How come we lose calories while resting or sleeping??????

Midge melchance ,

Loved this app up until IOS8 update!

Absolutely love this app, until I downloaded the new ios8 update. App now has a lot of issues! I hope it's fixed soon because I have loved this app for 2 years.

Fat Secret

Before I upgraded my OS to 8.0.2, the app worked fine. Since then it doesn't. The barcode feature no longer works. Too bad, this was a great app.

Perfect for me

I use the app to track my macros, it works great for me. I prefer it over myfitnesspal

Love this!

Easy to use and has a great food database.

MidwestMel ,

Great simplified macro counting!

Much easier and less distracting than MFP

wantpointsback ,

Bring back the Points!

Before the change - this was the best app! I used it all day!

I would pay for the app with point values!

No point values - makes it useless.

I had to delete it.

Best use of iPhone functions.

Just amazing!!

Doesn't function w/o Internet

This isn't recommended for iPod touch users unless you have wifi in the area. This app doesn't function offline.


What it needs:

Can use app offline (which unabled)

Crashes - Not working for me

Haven't been to use this app for months now! Bug update did not fix crash issues.

Terrible app if you cook your own food

If everything you eat comes out of a box this app is perfect. But if you cook, forget it. Adding a recipe is nearly impossible. Horrible app!

Jobynamb ,

Good but not great

This app is really helpful in tracking your food intake. Biggest headache is inconsistent measuring units! LOTS of needing conversions...you need a second app!

Nikky424 ,

Annoying

Keeps closing when I try to log food

Awesome hd ,

Pretty good

Some of the meals have wrong calories / carb info

Ocweeze ,

Me

With last update, this app became nothing more than just a very fancy calorie counter. It was a 5 star, now it's only a 1 star. Too bad they couldn't even be honest about it.

SoCalCapricorn ,

Bring back the weight watchers points value!!!!!!

I deleted it since you removed it!

Great little secret app

Butthammer ,

Well it was good...

Why make a labyrinth in the app to try and find nutritional values for foods? What happened to tapping on the food icon and simply searching for foods? Much less intuitive.

Kelstr7777 ,

Loved it before the update!!!!!

Before this last update this was the best app ever. Now all it does is crash! It so frustating that I just stopped using it. Please fix it, I miss this great app.

Lsumomma ,

Points

The reason I got the app was that it gave points. Very handy for the grocery store. Not because I LAZY!!! I'll delete this one. It's useless to me...regardless if it's free

woodgrub ,

i agree with great app

Just down loaded it. I like it but calories allowed a day is needed.

With out the Weight Watchers points counter -- this app has gone from the best to the worst. I will probably not be using app very much longer.

Mirror issue ,

Are you kidding me?!

The caloric calculator is absurd! I know to maintain my current weight I'm in the ball park is 3,200-3,500 cals a day. I put in my info and it said 5,000 a day. I guess the title is correct.. it's the secret to getting fat

Kabanho ,

Seriously?!

The app does not work at all since the latest update! It's completely useless now -- please "fix it" again soonest!! Thanks.

David Boatwright ,

Fantastic, App!!!

While my use of this is not for fat loss this app is still the best all around app out there... I dont work for any app company or anything like that.. I have used this app for about 5 months now.. Heres's how I see it..


Pro's


-Display of the daily meal break down


Okay so most other apps will certainly tell you the daily calories vs exercise and give you a meal break down. What I have noticed however is that most if not all besides FS, give you no macro break down.. you know the cals, pro, carb, Fat. they just say Lunch 456 cals etc.. FS will display the meal and the macro's in each.. this is vital info for weight training..


- Barcode scanner


Okay yes it wont work on either of my new ipod touch's but they gave us another option. we can simply type the barcode in on a number pad so while some may think this is a show stoper, I still think its far more faster then typing in each macro.


- search and food data base


Because its an online only app the data base is comparable and I find the interface for the search engine to be easy to use and recognizable icons


- Sync capability

if you have more then one ipod this is EXTREAMLY useful, but of course you can use the website to update your info and it will update your phone/itouch. Not to mention you can now sync with facebook to save you some time. thanks FS!!


- calendar view

Most other apps dont seem to pay enough attention to this part of the app and I am not saying it has to look amazing or have a lot of bells and whistles. Just functional to how a person thinks about weight loss and goal setting. The way the calendar is a list day by day comparisons with RDI. Food and exercise calls as well as your NET so you can compare easily day by day and build a momentum.


- Save meals templates and exercise templates

you can save templates for both for later use vs selecting each food or exercise.


all other features about are comparable with other calorie counter apps's however its not without faults or needing some updates


Con's


These are more just additions to make it better app,


Add more meal possibilities per day, currently it only has one snack meal

Add a place to log your pictures with your journal without having to join a group (website)

add more then just a weight tracking, biceps, triceps, chest, waist etc.. (at least on the website)

online app only, would be nice to see an off line capability and sync back to online

Water intake counter

add reports that are printable


There are a lot of great apps out there and yes there are some features that dont work right with FS but in my humble opinion this app has the best overall features vs issues or lacking of features.


hope this helps someone..

My Favorite Diet Tracking App

This is the best diet tracking app out of the dozen I have tried.


Best Features:

- Large food database

- Easy to add to food database

- Easy to add photos to new and existing foods

- Sync function

- Barcode scanner with manual barcode entry option

- Display of meal breakdown by fat, carbs, protein, and cals

- Expansion of meal to view foods and quantity consumed

- Six ways to enter food: Quick Pick, Search, Recently Eaten, Most Eaten, Saved Meals, and Cook Book

- Easy to add Saved Meals and Cook Book Recipes

- Improved search function: tap up/left arrow ↖ to fill search field with a previous search term and still allow editing of the field

- Calendar view: see RDI%, Food cals, Exercise cals, and Net cals by day at a glance each month


Features I Want:

- Add 1/3 and 2/3 serving sizes

- Add decimal serving sizes

- Add ability to Star/Favorite items

- Add ability to add multiple items from Quick Pick and Search views

- Add access to Challenges with Notifications and Mini-Challenges

- Add access to Groups

- Add access to Forums

- Add access to full Journal

- Add Notifications/Reminders to enter food/exercise/weight

- Improve Barcode Scanner speed

- Allow editing of Food Item data

- Add Water Intake tracker

- Add more meal options such as multiple snacks, or split Snack/Other into separate meals

- Add ability to upload photos to a Journal entry


Needs Improvement:

- Fix the Search function on the Daily Food Page to behave like the Search function on the Daily Home Page. Tapping the back arrow after viewing a food item should return me to the Search results, not make me start all over at the Daily Food Page.

Solid 4-Stars Needs a Few Tweaks

I really have enjoyed the app so far. I have had it just over a month and I find it fairly easy to use regularly. There are a few tweaks they could make to make me give this a full five stars. I will not reiterate all aspects of this app, just the ones that are major for me.


Pros:

• Easy to find Caloric Intake. Includes: Graphic, Percentage consumed, and How many calories you have left until the nutritional goal is filled.

• Pie graph breakdown of percentage of calories consumed of Carbs, Fat, & Protein


• Clean layout that is easy to read


• Easy Navigation


• Ability to Enter Nutrition Data for products manually and include pictures


• Large selection of pre-entered products (read nutritional info closely however) to select from


• Easy transition between website and app.


• Ability to share info with Friends (Buddies), Their own online community, or with your health professionals/trainers to maintain accountability


• Product Barcode Scanner


Cons:

• Inability to enter in Specific nutritional goals. For instance I am doing a 5 and 1 style of diet, and it would be easier if I could enter my Goals for specific grams of Calories, Protein, Carbs, Fat, & Fiber so I can easily see where I'm at with my targets.


• The only places to enter food consumption are Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, & Snacks/Other foods eaten categories.

I wish you could format the layout to include times, and optional layouts. For me it would look like: Meal 1; Meal 2, Meal 3, Meal 4, Meal 5, & Meal 6. As of now I enter 3, 4, and 5 or 6 under snacks. It is hard to read this way as it is lumped together and not divided into different snacks.


• My last complaint comes in the form of incorrect nutritional data for item they have in their databank. For instance I scanned the barcode for a garlic and herb cheese spread package. It listed the nutritional info for the product, and included that it was individually pre-portioned but the actual calorie, fat, and protein amounts were wrong. This has happened several times with various products and I have had to manually enter the data. It is time consuming and annoying.


Overall I like, and would recommend this app. I will continue to use it!

This is a great tool!

High hopes...ended in disappointment

The fitness center I belong to recently integrated their client tracking system to sync with Fat Secret in order to facilitate easier food logging - so I tried the app.


Here were the deal breakers for me:


1. Database is lacking. Items that I scanned and found in MyFitnessPal were not found in Fat Secret


2. Portion options. No option to select 1/3 (among other fractional portions) of a serving size. This is especially annoying when I am trying to enter a teaspoon portion of an item that has a tablespoon serving size. And no, I don't want to look up conversions to grams and ounces every time I do this...


3. Adding a recipe. This was the ultimate deal breaker for me. The functionality appears to be broken on the mobile app. I filled out the initial "add recipe" screen (name, description, servings, etc.). But when I go to add an ingredient, it adds it to my food log and not the recipe. So I reinstalled the app, figuring it's a glitch, now I'm back in the app and I can't find a "my recipes" section to modify the recipe I just created - so I have to start over. Guess what? Ingredients still don't add to the recipe, they add to my food diary. I'm done.


So to summarize - a database that is lacking, limited options for portion modification, and a non-user friendly (glitched?) custom recipe feature.


Sorry Fat Secret - I've gone back to MyFitnessPal. It's not perfect either, but I'd rather have the ease of use and deal with the minor issues I have with their app.

Долгожданное обновление не без косяков

Если в прошлой версии при изменении любого ингредиента в рецепте сразу изменялось количество порций (например курица 600 гр. - ищи в кол-ве порций ровно 600). Бесило жуть, но я смирилась.

Теперь же, разработчики решили что в рецептах мне совершенно не нужно изменять ингредиенты ( написано 20 гр. масла - клади именно 20 гр. и никого не интересует, что я могу использовать масло другого производителя, с другим кбжу, и изменить это в МОЁМ же рецепте не могу, приходится вбивать все заново в НОВЫЙ рецепт, это ведёт к неминуемому хаосу в моих рецептах и что более важно ТРАТИТ МОЁ ВРЕМЯ ).


Зато добавили обязательное фото к рецепту 👍 класс! Это же очень важно!


Очень жаль, похоже, прийдется искать другое приложение по подсчету калорий.

Developer Response ,

Привет,


Как только рецепт передается на утверждение, его нельзя редактировать (это всегда было так).


Мы планируем некоторые дополнительные усовершенствования, которые позволят вам редактировать рецепт даже после того, как вы отправите его на утверждение, но это требует изменений в бэкенде и представляет собой гораздо большую работу.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS APP!!!

I have always used / gone off and on using MyFitnessPal. However you have to pay 19.99/month or 79.99 / year and it is not nearly as fun or awesome!!! I love all the features!! I love the reports, the saved meals (MyFitnessPal has saved meals but you have to pay for this) I love the ease of use and in general looking at my tracking week to week. FAT SECRETS thank you for making tracking fun!! 😊

VPratte ,

It is OK

I really like how this app can take a picture of the bar code from the food you ate and track the calories. This is simple and just what I was looking for! I do not need the fancy stuff it offers so I am happy not to purchase the upgrades.

Only thing that is infuriating is that once you enter your exercise and sleep, you cannot go back in and edit it -SO- make sure you get that correct the first time!

I mainly do daily step counting and swimming throughout the day, that would be nice to enter in but they only give hourly fitness.

It is easy and simple to use, just needs a few tweaks.

Weight loss in progress

Have been using this app recently following my weight loss journey,I started losing weight from May 5th 2021 from 170lbs to 153.4lbs,with exercise (first time exercising in my whole life and I’m 30years old, started my first exercise journey 5/8/21 and I will never stop again...now I’m addicted....all kind of hitt exercise plus Afro dance to fast walking,treadmill,dumbbells weight and more....I’m loving my new body but my goal weight is 130lb,that has been my weight from high school until I got married and have kids...no going back

Excellent App

FS is superb at tracking food (calorie) intake. Good database, easy bar code scanner, and very user-friendly platform makes it a great tool. I’d give it a “5” star if it had more Hello Fresh and Blue Apron meals already in the database. All in all, great app.

Extreme shocker ,

I’m starting out at 321.8lbs

I definitely like the app it helps keep me accountable to myself on what i eat and my tracking of calories i intake. But this app is only as good as you the person in making a decision to change your life. I’ve not done much workout’s and I'm already down 8 lbs and I’ll I’m doing is tracking calories and watching portion control.

Been using it for years

Back in 2011/2012 I tested out a bunch of calorie counter apps. This app was the one back then that had accurate nutrition facts for restaurants and food from grocery stores. I deleted the rest and used this. Over the years I have been testing out newer calorie counter apps that come out just to see what they offer but nothing compares to Fat Secret. And fat secret may not be all physically appealing like some others, but it’s simple and easy and it just works.


I’ve never deleted this from my devices and it has helped me go from 235 pounds down to 160 and be in the best shape of my life.


Best calorie counter in the App Store.

LizardLegz ,

Long time user first time reviewer 😊

I have been using FatSecret on and off for over 10 years. I originally used their website and transitioned with the app with various apple and android devices.


This app does all the math for me and keeps everything on record so you can monitor the ups and downs.


It also allows you to journal which I found helpful when I am noting something.


I use the free version because I use my Garmin watch for tracking water. Before that I used a free water tracking app. And a long time ago I would list my water intake in the snack section of my daily summary.


I recently started using the happy scale app to track my progress.


The RDI calculator on FS appears to be spot on and you can change your nutritional needs if you want.


They offer a community feed where you can support others and get support if that is something you prefer. Personally, I am just focusing on my journey and do not want to have additional distractions. So if you are in that place in your life, you can choose to only follow yourself or maybe a select few you have connected with.


Overall, this app is my favorite and my go to for when I need to maintain, lose, or gain (yeah right) weight. 😀

It Helps Me Accomplish What I Couldn’t Do On My Own

I use this app in conjunction with the website to track calories and activity. It's useful and the large food database and ability to add foods to it are very much appreciated. It needs a way to sync data between the app and website and from one day to the next on the app without having to close the app and reopen it. That would make me change this to a 5 star review. UPDATE 11/9/2020: They have tweaked the app. It’s more user friendly and the layout is easier to work with. And it syncs now! Still the absolute best food database IMO. They have made it easy to update nutritional information. I used to have to use the website periodically to do certain things the app couldn’t do, but now I am able to use the app 99% of the time. It never crashes or acts weird. I’m able to easily track micronutrients as well as macros, which is invaluable in keeping my sodium intake, and therefore my blood pressure, in check. And it works! You must be diligent and weigh/measure when necessary and be honest! The app literally shows you what works and what doesn’t. I am 61 and quarantine wasn’t kind to me weight wise. With this app I have lost 14 pounds since June! Be diligent, be honest, and with this wonderful app, anyone can lose weight.

Success Story

Journaling is best way to stay on track.Most other diets I would have caved by now.Here ,I am totally in control. If I crave something adjust the day/caloric intake for it. So never feel deprived .


I wish it were possible to adjust for a half portions , 3/4 portions or add quantity amounts. Now , I just am forced to find food nearest calorie count to substitute.


I have never reached goal weight in my long life,and have tried many of weight programs . Believe this time on FatSecret

I will.

Not wild about the AppName Fat Secret lol

Sad Olympic viewer ,

Really great app

I’ve had this app for a while. Did not use it for the entirety of 2018 (personal issues 😔), but came back to it. All of my info still here as if I had never gone off it. I love how easy it is to use. Had it initially on Android, switched to Apple. Easy to use on both platforms. It’s actually fun using it as a food diary to record my meals, it is helpful to planning meals ahead of time because i can look at previous meals for nutritional info and see how they can fit into my meal plan. The users are all encouraging of others, a BIG plus. Enjoy seeing what other peoples meals look like, get ideas and inspiration from them. The best part of this app is that you don’t feel like its an isolated, static app, you feel ENGAGED in a live, vibrant community where everyone’s goal is to be a healthier, better person and want the same for each and every person. You can track your fitness/exercise as well as meals and monitoring of weight. It can calculate your individual recommended caloric intake based on your input values so you can adjust what you eat based on your goals of losing, gaining, maintaining. And its super easy to use.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL APP

Absolutely wonderful app.

Went from 70kg down to 48kg and still maintaining after 2 years thanks to this helpful calculation system.

My life is SO much better now and I feel great at the same time.

Everyday is slightly different (exercise and calories) and everyone’s body works differently. You need to find your happy medium the way I did by using this fantastic app.

On IOS having issues with setting RDI and keeping it for every day that way. Works great on Android and Internet though.

Starting weight “265”

My weight today 11/15/19 is 207

JimSRussell ,

Love it, but I’m confused...

My doctor, perhaps being something of a Luddite, asked me to bring a paper record of meals (and glucose readings) to help my diabetes control. Assuming that “There must be an app” for that, I tried 3 or 4 apps that I though might work. Most didn’t offer any export/print capability, at all; one required a subscription before that ability was enabled, but did at least have a 30 day trial period. So I signed up, and I was very disappointed to see that they only exported meal totals, not including the foods, and no charts or report output.


(I wasted several days using excel for iPad to try to augment their export and make the paper record my Dr. wanted, but that’s the subject of another review.)


Bottom line, this app (FatSecret) looks like it shares origins with the app that failed me, but also offers reports in a pdf format, as well as much more complete csv export. And best of all, this without a subscription!


Hopefully, I’m not going learn that I’m in some sort of new user trial! (Although these guys may deserve a subscription!)


Very nice job!


More: After a couple of months using this app, I continue to be blown away. Without any reservations this is one of the best apps in the store! Capture what you eat by picking it from your recent food, or search for it by name, description, brand, (chain) restaurant name, grocery store name, or point your camera at a bar code or even the food itself! The automatically added nutritional data is excellent. Editing is easy, as is correcting prior entries, serving size, or quantity. See excellent graphic summaries of your food input and progress. If you are so inclined, share your progress and trade encouragement with the optional social network capabilities. The app has remained free, but some additional features (can’t imagine what more I could want) are offered on a subscription basis. I am going to subscribe, not for any new features, but just because I’m ashamed to keep taking a free ride.

stainedzurich ,

The best

The good: FatSecret is best-of-breed for logging. The app tracks recently-entered foods, as well as frequently-entered foods, and you can enter multiple items at once. You rarely have to search. They’ve nailed that part.


The bad: the US community is lousy with interpersonal drama. Picture hangry cat ladies who get triggered by the tips or transformation pics posted by successful members. There are actual camps & cliques. It wasn’t obvious at first, because a lot of it is passive-aggressive dog whistling.


The team at FS is intentionally hands-off. They might remove blatant spam if it’s reported enough, but there’s nothing resembling an enforced code of conduct, and no way to hide specific members or downvote posts.

Best information presentation of all food trackers

I did a survey (2019-08) of all the leading food tracker apps on the store.


This one has the best designed presentation of data, in my opinion. Calories, macros, etc. are easily visible in a roughly tabular layout. When you inspect a food in detail, you see the information laid out mimicking the standard US nutrition facts label.


The UI for adding an entry is also efficient and clear.


The food database is not as large as MFP but in practice this doesn’t matter as much to me at least.

Jfkddjcnejhf ,

Excellent and flexible

I’ve been using FatSecret since 2010 and it remains the best meal tracking app on the market - I started on android and now use it on apple and it is excellent.

firuley ,

The best app.

My friend advice me this app. She told me if you keep your carb under 50 you can loose weight.and also I keep calorie 1000. I started152.4 . After two weeks 143.8. And 30 mins walking for 3 days. I typed every meal. My goal is 130 pound. 💖. Thank you.

Bob5499 ,

All the Right Information

This app has all the pertinent information for tracking macros, sugar and cholesterol intake. The daily pie chart shows the % of carbs, fat and protein consumed. Great list of restaurant items too. Bar code scanner is simple to use. It's a great tool to track my success! However, it still doesn’t recognize some brands with the barcode.

For Nutritional Information

Using the app for two weeks. I’ve been adding my meals in daily and what I like is the nutritional information. I had not been able to get a true picture of what I was eating until this app. I also like the ability to scan the UPC code on food.

Great tool for dieting or weight maintenance

Great app to control and help to yourself to loose fat

I’m so satisfied with that app. Great app to control and help to yourself to loose fat. I already in 2 weeks lost 12 pounds and I’m still eating, I just managed my food and nutritions in a right smart way. This app so helpful.

P.s. only I wish there would be some settings to change my username, cuz I registered a year ago and never use it, and right now start using again and so happy with that app, but doesn’t like my username which I created and there no settings to change name .

adnopa ,

Not too accurate

I have been using the app for years and I like it. It’s not always accurate though and it isn’t easy to edit foods which have outdated/inaccurate information. It would be great to have the ability to add food portions in a free format. I don’t like the fact that I can only set my portion to full servings and 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 of a serving. I need to be accurate and for that I’d like to be able to put quantities to 2 decimal digits. That was an option for Android and I’m becoming frustrated with lack of this feature here.

Perfect app for me

This is a perfect app. It has basically all the foods that I eat. It also has the feature where I can use my camera to scan the bar code when I’m too lazy to type in the food. Plus if I can’t find it, there is a section where I can put the food I’m eating and it stores it so that next time I eat it I can easily add it to my food diary. 👍👍

Keeps me honest!!

I love this app because it’s easy to use and has dietary information for almost any food I can think of! I particularly like the ability to scan a bar code and quickly enter my foods. I’m using this with a doctor monitored program and have lost 20 pounds in my 1st month😊 This app also helps my dietitian see what I do right and wrong so I remain healthy while I lose weight. It’s simple to use and share my info with my dr and dietitian. I love this app!


Update: I’m still loving this app. In 4 months, I have lost 54 pounds and only have 10 more to go. So far, everything I eat is in the database and it makes it very easy to quickly enter my meals. It’s so simple to use and I’ve shared it with many people to help them too!! You can’t go wrong with this one.👍

Great App and suggestion for repair

November 15 2018 update: note to developer - your November 2018 calendar is incorrect you have 2 days as November 4th. Also, I have selected (turned on) app sharing with Apple Health App but no data is shared or stored on Fat Secret app.


I started using the app again and down 9 pounds! This app works every time!


——————————————

I am really enjoy using this app and it's strengths are the ability to see which foods are contributing the most calories to my diet and target those for reduction. So many foods and restaurants in its database!


So I'm adding to my above comments a years later... I've slacked off but kept this app on my phone because of my past success with it. It's even better than before and every time I use this app, I lose weight. It's a guarantee success.

Developer Response ,

Hi - glad you're still getting benefit from using the app :)


The double dates you're seeing is related to Daylight Savings. We're made a fix and it should be released in version 8.1 which we hope to release next week.

What happened?

What happened to the bar code scanner? I miss it or I’m not finding it, not sure which.

Developer Response ,

The bar code scanner should be available whenever you tap the camera icon - it should be an icon to the left of the screen at the bottom of the photo. If you can't find it, please email us at contact@fatsecret.com and we'll help you get there :)

Great App!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for fixing the bug. Once again the app works great. So glad to have it working again. I use this everyday. And can not go a day without it!!!!!

VinJay ,

Outstanding APP

I use this everyday. It is simply great. Ice lost 30 lbs (since Oct 2010) using this APP. The only issue it seems to have is it relies heavily on the data connection all the time. So if you're off network it doesn't work well. It would get 5 stars if it had an "off-line" mode. I hope to see continued improvement of this great APP.

Makes tracking my food very easy

It’s great to use the bar code scanner to find or add foods; lots of food already loaded, easy to add foods you are eating and it remembers your favorites. The app has a recipe section, so you can add your meals pretty fast, and add servings to your meal.

Tracks sugar, which is helpful for me.

Schmops78 ,

Easy to use weight loss app

The app is straight forward to use. I light the search function and the bar code scanner. Best of all, no ads!! If they ever start using ads like MyFitnessPal and others, I will leave immediately. The programmers should be supported by getting a big community and keep up the good work. Thank you!

Big Daddy Greg ,

Easy to Use. Amazing.

FatSecret is easy to use. You can scan the bar codes on food packaging, search for items at restaurants, keep track of your weight and exercise. It has helped me to start getting my weight under control.

Knowledge is power! This app, a 10 dollar scale from Amazon, and a set of measuring cups/spoons from Walmart for 88 cents has allowed me to really understand what a serving is so I can keep track of everything.

The fact that entering everything is easy and user friendly is why I love it so much. If it was hard or time consuming I wouldn’t put the effort in. This app makes it simple. The only hard part is being honest with yourself and making sure you stay accountable to yourself!

WH1914 ,

If you use it it works.

I like how you can take pictures of the bar code and it provides the nutritional details.


Whenever I need to get my weight in check this app is a must for me.

THE best nutrition logging app available!

I started using this app about 10 years ago, when I first began my weight-loss journey. I have tried other nutrition apps in the past, even the more expensive paid versions. I always keep coming back to using Fatsecret. The database is extensive, and the reports and metrics that you receive back is absolutely amazing..and all of this is for free!


I couldn't recommend this logging program enough. HANDS DOWN my absolute favorite. If it hadn't been for Fatsecret and it's simplistic and intuitive interface, I don't believe that my weight loss from 220-130 would have had that initial ignition!!!


THANK YOU for making this a delight to use! The generosity of your team to gift your users such insightful and detailed reports into their own dietary lifestyle is incredible, especially when it's given at the price point of FREE.


Keep up the great work! ♥️

OlgaRomanO ,

Something is wrong

This a cool program, best of all as my sis and doctor says, but it has glitches on my iPhone- I can’t find food which my sis can easily find with this app on her android... may be glitch is that my iPhone is in English and FatSecret get installed in English automatically, but then I enter some products in Russian some are easily found, and some do not reflect at all, it gives something completely different (but on android it finds that exact food with no problem!). Pls solve this bug!!!

Goose0987 ,

Great app

Fat Secret is easy to use (user friendly) It has all the foods listed. And the camera reads the bar code for the box or can is great. And if I forget to add a dinner meal it reminds me. I love this app.

SLOWBRA ,

Help...

Like the others, the latest update just crashes and will not open. I use this daily so this is disappointing.

Fix please!!!

This is my FAVORITE and most user-friendly calorie counting app, and now I'm totally lost without it. Please, please, please fix. I need to count my ww points!!!!

After the new update this app is great again. I like the new look! Thanks

Requires Internet to function

Therefore worthless on iPod touch. Thought it would be ideal used in conjunction with website. But if I can't use it without a connection I'll just go back to fitday or another web based version. Disappointing.

Eloisamoctezuma ,

Great app!!!

I love this app! Very easy to enter all foods.

Fabulous App

I absolutely love this app. I'm so glad it's working well. I only had a couple of days when it was doing weird things but now it's back on track. I love the bar code scanner. I am really enjoying using. Thanks and keep up the good work.

DolphinDreamerAly ,

RDI adjustment?

I *love* this app, and have lost 35lbs, so far. But I'm wondering... does your RDI automatically adjust as your weight, and/or fitness goals change? If not, how can I adjust my RDI manually?

riggles28 ,

Missing option to add a recipe

This app has everything but no ability to add a recipe. Love the scanner & massive database of foods & restaurants available - better than all the others. Please add recipe option and tracking for daily water!

Fb dude ,

Great app. Great way to lose weight!!

Love it!!

Chevelle6672 ,

Great app!

Works really good! Both my fiancé and I use it! Just wish there was a counter for how many glasses of water you have drank in the diary. Instead of actually inputting every time. But that's nothing to gripe about! I love this app! Works like a dream!

Maxs8ball ,

Manual input

I have used this for a few weeks and really like it but want to be able to manually enter a food if I can't find it in the database.

ImpsWarrior ,

Great app 'til updated

Thank you Fatsecret for updating this app (version 2.0). I love the way it CRASHES every time I try to add a food, delete a food, or generally do anything with the app! This was a 4-star app. Now I wish there were negative stars!

idougsmith ,

CRASHING!

App was great until they updated it and all it does now is crash on launch.

Laraway family ,

Update ruined app!!

I loved this app until the update yesterday! First it wouldnt open at all, so I had to delete & reinstall it & lost weeks of food diary entries in the process. 2nd after I reinstalled it, it would close out after every entry I made (slightly annoying when you are trying to log for an entire meal or DAY!) 3rd and last straw: now the app will not even work AT ALL! says "network has timed out" & crashes everytime I try to do anything!! I loved this app. It was my fav calorie-counter out there. I used it everyday religiously as I am trying to gain weight. But now that it's crapped out I'm using My Fitness Pal or whatever and I was impressed & pleased to see that this app actually gives you the option between whether your goal is too lose OR GAIN weight! NONE of the other apps offer that...I always had to lie about my height & weight or it would tell me I'm underweight and should not be dieting & to consult a physician! LOL. I'm happy with "my fitness pal" it functions properly & has everything that the FatSecret App did, also is free -so I recommend it to anyone who used this crashed app!

goin crazy since the last update rendered the app useless! need need need my fat secret calorie counter!!!!

Buena app, pero ...

En general es una buena aplicación. Es la única que tiene alta variedad de alimentos de mi país (chile).

Lo que me molesta es que al momento de ingresar los gramos de un alimento uno tiene que ir bajando manualmente hasta encontrar la cantidad deseada (muy tedioso). Debería implementarse un sistema de digitación de la misma forma en que uno ingresa un número en la calculadora.

Not as good as the Droid App...Scan feature doesn't work well

I switched from a Droid to the iPhone and this app does not work as smoothly as it did with my previous Droid. The scanner feature with the iPhone is horrendous, I actually deleted the app bc I was so frustrated with the scanner. I found another app, which doesn't have a scan function yet, but u can invite friends, track and share daily intakes, weight loss, and activities. I really like accountability My Fitness Pal app offers so I switched to that app. Good luck!

ferrous1 ,

Great app but could improve on

SWIPE TO DELETE would be a nice addition. Also I like the pc online measurements of food where I can put in DECIMAL MEASUREMENTS greater accuracy, much easier than the quarter serving increments I'm stuck with in certain foods. Also please offer an AD FREE version, I'm willing to pay the premium for the extra screen real estate.

The Best Ever

I have probably tried every diet app out there, and this one has it all. You can choose your diet, set your preferences and sync between website and app. If you're doing Atkins or low carb, you can set it to count Net Carbs. It's very nearly perfect: if there were a way to monitor water intake, it would be perfect.

Panicmama ,

Great app!

Awesome app with lots of info at your fingertips. Would give 5 stars if I could monitor multiple people.

TulsaHart ,

First review ever

This app is great. Easy to monitor calories and exercise. The UPC scanner works well. Lots of products in the app. I have used it for 2 weeks and it always has my meals. My wife uses the WW app and she asks me for nutritional info. Good work!

rosemdaniel ,

Best program out there!!

I love this app and can't live without it. It makes me accountable about my current diet and in turn I try harder to eat healthy

Bnnhbbum ,

Does what it says!

I have been using this app on my blackberry now my new IPhone. I have lost 75 lbs thanks to this little gem of an app. It really helps you think about what your putting in your body and keep track of your weight. Well worth the price of Free99!

Shelley_in_Arlington ,

Life changing!

This app allows me to account for everything I eat and it has changed my attitude about eating. At work where I don't have wifi, I leave my iPod Touch set on my daily menus so I can see my plan for the day. The only complaint is that the food descriptions are truncated. Wrapping the text or providing landscape mode would be a great enhancement. I'm losing weight and I love this app.

BurningCold ,

Best App ever!

Seriously! :D

Edna the Big Bad Sheep! ,

Intuitive and complete

This is an excellent app! Very intuitive, well designed, includes so many foods, and provides everything you need to keep track of your calories within a program. Yes, scanner didn't work, looking forward to an update for that. Overall great job!!

Very awesome and helpful!

Lmx2plante ,

Almost perfect

Have only been using this app for one day and already lost a pound! Easy to use and tracks my weight loss all in one app. Just wish I could add my own foods and nutritional values. Other than not being able to do that, I love it so far!

Love that fact that you can scan your food in via bar code scanner and if it's not there you can input the values. Would like to be able to input how much water I drink. This app ROCKS!!

Good Concept, Does NOT work!

Nice try, but the app keeps locking up especially after using the barcode scanner. I originally had the app when I had a Droid and had the same issues. Now that I have the iPhone I thought that I would give it a second chance. This app is TERRIBLE! I guess you get what you pay for!

I like the app but I can't stand the ads in this app. I have the iPad app as well and there are no ads in that one. Wish they would remove the ads in the app and I would give it a higher rating.

Works great

Nice app, easy to use. I've lost 12 lbs so far. Works great as long as I stay within the calorie intake I have chosen.

I lost weight!

It's easy to use on the run. I love that I can enter bar codes and it gleans the calorie info automatically. I could not get the bar code scanner to work ever. Does anyone have any hints ... Is it just me? The good news is I lost 6 pounds the first week. Stay tuned.. I'll report back later.

jgg1956 ,

Needs some adjustments

Cannot edit/correct Weight Tracker weights. :-(


I have a Withings wifi scale and would appreciate being able to auto pull my scale readings dynamically from my online account into this app to eliminate manual entries. (less work = more fun & better user experience.)


Would prefer not to see the Diet Calendar data partitioned by month, rather a continuous scrolling list that defaults to Today would be easier to review. For example, I started using the app January 31. If I want to compare numerical progress for today (February 1) against yesterday I have to toggle between the months. Kind of a pain.


I would like to see full page graphs in both vertical and landscape viewing modes of my rolling weight against rolling calorie intake, calories burned, and the calorie in/out differential. A bar style overlay with stacked meal/snack calorie counts might be useful to some to gauge how their calorie intakes are proportioned throughout the day.


I'm not sure a save button is need when updating data entry fields. A return should be sufficient and would eliminate redundant key strokes.


Will update my review as these fixes are made and adjust my rating too.


Otherwise great app!

Love this App!!

I use this every day. The barcode feature makes it a lot simpler than the version on my Blackberry. Lost 10 pounds in my first month and I wasn't even exercising regularly. I wish you could select multiple items from a restaurant without having to dtart at the beginning for every item. Still an awesome app!

Turgmama ,

Love it!

Awesome app!! Very helpful and easy to use! Love the scanning feature! If I could make one change it would be that it would keep a running total of net carbs or at least the fiber count so it would be easier to figure instead of just straight carb count

JFrenxh ,

Almost perfect.

Very good app. Very easy to enter food and exercise. The only problem I've encountered so far is that the ad at the bottom of the screen obscures the save button on some screens. You can touch the button and not the add about 1 in 5 times.

Enjoy using this app! it would get 5 stars if u could journal on ur phone/ handheld device w/o having to get on a computer. better list of foods than "lose it!" app I was using. barcode needs some stability too. perhaps in the next update please?

Carol Ummel Lindquist, Ph.D. ,

No fiber. No yoga

No record of fiber consumed. No estimate for yoga calories. Loseit works better for me. I was excited to try bar code.

Karid5 ,

No recipe functionality

Barcode reader didn't work at all for me. No recipe functionality either, which is a deal breaker since I make 99% of the meals I consume.

Jmw401 ,

Fatsecret app. Love it!

This is one great app. I have several others, but, by far, this has the most extensive database of any other app I have found. Have not tried the barcode scanner yet, but it should be a great help at the market. The only addition I would like to see is Weight Watcher Points Plus added to the nutritional info. Thanks for a great app.

Nina70 ,

Awesome

This app makes it very easy to track your calories and fitness. The scanner works great. Love this app! It DOES count fiber. All you have to do is change the display options by hitting the 3 dots in the upper right corner.

I used this app daily and loved it until the update. Now it doesn't even open. I really wish they would fix it soon!

Lame i just updated today and now it wont open it just crashes and now im eating like a fatass lol please fix it was a great app though (: also, the barcode scanner will not work ive tried it so many times on several different products and nothing. It works wen i enter it manually but i dont wanna do that it would be super amazing if i could just point and get food info. It works on my sisters epic so i dont see why it wont work on my ipod touch >.< pleaseee fix.

Solid App-couple suggested improvements

Very good free app with great integration with web site. I've centralized all my weight gain activity here. Other than the obvious stability fix (I feel bad for them due to the poor timing), suggest adding the ability to look up all previously entered food from a list (instead of top few for each meal) and a more granular workout tracker would enable me to track everything in one spot.

RGLII ,

Nice update!!!! NOT

Now the app doesn't work after the update! What a day to have this happen! Jan 1!!! Seriously? I'll go back to another app now!

Loving him ,

Wow how disapointing

I got the app like a month ago and it work so GOOD ! But then I upgraded it && tryed too use it &&it just closed out wow I am very disapoind!!!!its all good I def. No for next time...

streega ,

Loved and lost

I loved this app and accidentally updated it. It was SO helpful. Please fix it soon. I feel like I need it to lose weight.

BayEnt ,

Unbelievable!

I loved the App, had several months of scanned foods stored from using it daily, then updated it and lost everything--and it won't even open, keeps crashing. Lost months of my tracked info!

Millibar ,

Crash and burn

I loved this app when I first got it - best barcode reader anywhere for food input, super easy, fast and extensive database of foods. You could also track points as well as the current tracking categories. Well the points are gone, but I keep hoping they will come back in an update. Guess I'll have to wait longer since this update just brought continual crashing. Bricked the app. I'm sure the crashing will be resolved, let's hope the points will be too..... (Still a great app and worth getting, however 3 stars for no ww points and the amount of scrolling required for various inputs.)


UPDATE: Shortly after submitting this review the App now works and does not crash. (3GS 4.2.1) Also my data is still intact. Not surprised the developers got it fixed. Nice new UI, definite improvement. Unless I've missed something, still no ww points tracking. <sigh>

Jaznell ,

Love it

This app keeps you straight. I can't wait to add my meals each day. I have referred this app to my friends and the love it also.

**tinylvis** ,

Ugh!!!!!!

The update has completely screwed this app up!!! Shuts down immediately!!

Illetanod ,

Ms

Fix my app this was the best and now it's messed up!!

How do I get the fix?

PLac619 ,

It's ok

It could use a passlock. The adds get in the way when setting up your RDI and other settings. It would be nice if it was more of a goal oriented app then just a tracker. The scanner and food choices work great. I like the weight check in and tracker feature.

Begawkiness ,

Crashes

Great app before update but can't run now as with the latest update it crashes on launch every time (using a 3GS).

Traveler 132463476337 ,

Crashing right away after new update.

Please fix.

Please also add water tracking

Prior to that was very nice app

KatStubes ,

Crash, crash, crash

Worked great before update. Now useless. Please fix!!!!

Onetxaggie ,

Crashes

Crashes after update. Won't load. Was this tested before release??

gr129 ,

PLEASE FIX ASAP!!!!

ZERO STARS!!!!


Omg! I use this app multiple times a day. New Update and it crashes now. Can't even get in it using 3GS.


Love the app before the update! It never crashed.


Can't use.


Please please fix ASAP!!!!


Next update - would love to see percentages pie chart, capability to add recipes in cookbook, see weight chart for longer period or selected time frame.

Frt34444 ,

Don't download the update

If you have a 3GS.... I updated and the app won't launch...had to delete and install from a previous version on my computer...good free app...please fix asap

Rowsie<3 ,

Update ruined it.

Was great until the recent update. Now I can't even open the application

Pissed off!!! ,

What the Hell!!!

Applied the damn update and now app crashes!!! What the hell is up with this. It's called software release 101!!!

Fatbrad1960 ,

Latest version doesn't work

I should have read the reviews before updating. It crashes on my iPhone 4 immediately on launch. I loved previous version. Have lost 30 lbs in 4 months with it.


It has stopped crashing on entry, but is still flaky. It exits the program when you save a food or exercise diary entry. The item is saved, buy you have to relaunch the app to continue. Annoying and confusing.

meow313^.^ ,

Good.. BUT!..

i like this app.. had a previoud account I used online but it will not allow me to input my height and weight! Keeps saying 'im Xtremely underweight, & should seek medical help before starting any diet' I had no problem entering it online! and 'it' should not be 'concerned' with my personal needs, it should just allow me to use the app!!

Anyways... if any of u guuiz wna free 25$ itunes giftcard dowload the checkpoints app and upon sign up enter "juliie" as a BONUS CODE (without quotations) first 10 2 sign up recieve it, the rest (up to 100ppl) i provide them 100ptz, enjoy(;

Hsfish ,

Damn it!!!!

I just updated the app and now weeks of data are not available because it crashes every time I try to open it. HELP! I loved this app. Please fix it fast!!!!!!!!!!

Ifed17 ,

Очень круто!!!

Давно искал что то подобное. Я занимаюсь бодибилдингом, и для меня очень важно учитывать все сьеденные калории. Теперь веду свой дневник диеты не на бумаге или на компе в Exel, а прямо у себя на телефоне. Очень удобно

Momo Trips ,

Love this app!

Perfect app! Works great with the 40-30-30 diet.

WaitsForLife ,

Love it!!!

I have to loose some weight and needed some how to keep track of my calories. This App does that and much more! Track calories, weight loss, foods that you've eaten, and your progress. Also, you can chat with others for support! My favorite thing is the Bar Code reader though! You just snap a pic of that bar code and the app gives you all the info on it and logs it for you! I Love this App! I've had it for around 3 weeks now and already lost over 10 pounds!!!

アシュリーちゃん ,

Best motivation EVER

I love that there is a community that logs in and writes how they're weight loss has been!


I love that there are healthy recipes for inspiration.


I love the bar over your username that shows how close you are to your goal!!


I feel like I'm a part of

Something! This also keeps me accountable because I have some followers and I want to be true.

Boekends ,

JB

This is a great app. It helped me lose weight and keep it off.

Ostagaard ,

Great app....

Easy to use, no problems with any area of app. Has more foods in database than Weight Watchers. Do miss the bar code scanner but large food database makes up for it!!! Recommend... 👍🏼 Would like for you to rethink the name as I don't like telling my granddaughter that I am ashamed of my weight.

Joeydajock ,

Great

Great great great

GiSChh ,

Really good, additionally...

Simple to use, especially the part where I can scan the bar code! It would be perfect to have the option to include time of when I ate, especially the snacks/others. Also, include my humor at the time of eating, also especially the snacks part, because usually they are cravings and exaggeration.

OG Bobbi Johnson ,

LOVE IT

Love this app! Effectively helps me monitor what goes in my mouth. Great for low carb, WW, etc. Bar code scanner is such a time saver and probably my favorite feature. Can add recipes, then get nutrition info. Can add single food items. Even has some restaurants. Endless ways to monitor.

Hangingup ,

Camera Update...no good

Since adding the option to take a picture, the barcode scan barely works. If I use the camera option, then I am still having to search for the item if there is no exact match. Might as well just search rather taking the extra steps to take a picture. It's annoying to enter the bar code numbers when it worked so well before. Please fix the scanner, otherwise, I'm out.

Flygirl7780 ,

Love this app

Very user friendly I can find almost any food by brand or even restaurant choices. Really like the bar code option.

Maynard Handley ,

Garbage compared to the alternatives

There's a lot to hate in this app and very little to love.

- It has no integration with HealthKit. (So no publishing your data for other apps to view, no automatic extracting your weight from your smart scale, no automatic workout tracking)

- It insists that IT knows best, so you can change very little in it (for example you can't change the daily calorie to what you want; it insists on calculating a value)

- The bar code scanner appears not to work (or the bar code database is trivially small --- most of what I tried to scan did not show up, and the whole scanning process feels like from 5 years ago, without the ability to handle scanning at any angle and with poor light and focus that modern apps offer.

- Much of the inputting seems clumsy; for example inputting a bar code is a multi-tap process even though there's an obvious way to make it a single tap process (and plenty of screen space to do so).


Essentially I see no reason to use it when there are better alternatives out there. The alternatives are not perfect by any means, but they at least manage to get some of the basics correct, unlike this app.

MK25DSDiver ,

Good, almost great

First off this is a very pretty and useful app. Looks great, simple at first glance but has a lot of detail if you need it. Little bit of extra tapping to add foods compared to others but not horrible.

Wish it would add:

-Read weight and active calories from Apple health app

-Short cut to add food, etc

-Apple Watch complication (add food via voice)(search via voice)

This is a very good app lacking a few features to make it great.

Tammytot ,

Love it

Great app,free and not full of ads.love it.10+

John G aka Mr. Go-in ,

Best calorie tracker

I believe fat secret is the best calorie tracker hands down! I've used MyFitnessPal & Lose it before. Fat secret is top for 1 reason. U can input all foods in grams and that's so convenient. Btw, check me out on YouTube; Mr. Go-in I post fitness videos, tutorials, & nutritional meals.

SleepyMom78 ,

Great app!

This app helps me to be healthy and accountable. I've used it for a couple years and tells me a lot about what I eat. My only complaint is it is now missing the bar code scanner.

Masterdozer ,

Easy

Easy to use. Lots of food options to track. Straightforward to set personal goals even at macro level. Many reports both visual.and derailed numbers. Overall excellent app.

Carolonthehustle ,

Best tracking macros app bar none

I've tried the top two apps in the market and this particular app is not only thorough, there are no charges for upgrade of services, unlike the other apps out there. Great experience in terms of ease of use, extensive food database, bar code or search option, tracks macros by list and graphs tracks goals in weight, nutrients, calories burned, etc etc, everything the other apps do plus this one has a daily notes feature and I can customize any feature ....all for free. Love it!!!

Mcsilvey ,

Awesome

My friend has been doing weight watchers and I was looking for an app to help me. This has been perfect and it is free. I have been able to track everything very simply. I love the bar code feature. It makes shopping and tracking so easy. I like the way it keeps track of recently eaten items or exercises. We are creatures of habit and usually do or eat something a couple days in a row. I usually load my usual items in first thing in the morning. If I pack my lunch I load that info as well. Then when I get home if I haven't eaten something I can subtract it. I have shared the app with at least a dozen people who really like it.

Thank you for this product.

Michelle

bodycode ,

Excellent

Excellent food logging app through bar code, it's own database, and adding foods manually to the database.


This app also tracks your weight.

It does so many things I can't possibly write a comprehensive review on my phone. I do not know if it automatically adjusts you're resting metabolic rate or that is, the number of calories you should be eating per day based on weight gain or weight loss.

Weedysea ,

Very good App

Easy to use, organized.

However, unless I am missing something (and I have searched the app thoroughly) you can never change your target weight. This would be a helpful change as what you impulsively put in the first time you use it should not be written in stone. I'm writing in hope that it will be addressed as I do like using this app.Finding specific foods is EXCELLENT on the app. Needs more diverse excercises.

Otherwise, excellent app.

Cmonster36 ,

Saved my life!

What an awesome App! I was classified as obese when applying for life insurance & 5' 7" tall I weighed 245 lbs and at risk of diabetes & heart disease. I found this app & plugged in my goal weight as per my insurance company's guidelines and with that I was told the number of calories I should be eating daily! I was surprised to see what a "serving" is compared to what I was actually eating! Using the app & some exercise...yes you have to exercise....I am now 188 as of today 1.10.16 no longer obese, insured at a normal rate, no longer in danger of diabetes or heart disease. I plug in what I eat which means I DO NOT DENY myself of any foods & I exercise. Please note it takes time....it took me 3 years to drop the 50 lbs but I've kept it off for 3 years!!! Good Luck!

Klarzuk ,

Easy to use

I love the new bar code scanning feature and the fact that it has so many brands and restaurants available to search from.

Bellatina0614 ,

Excellent!

I've been using this app for a month and have lost 9lbs. Really like the bar code scanner and the vast library of foods and restaurants!

Amy JH ,

Amy

I love this app because it keeps me accountable and there just aren't anymore excuses for not charting what I eat. I know for a fact that I don't need 2300 calories in a day... I'm on a weight loss program. I just chart what I eat and my exercise. It's really that simple. If I can't find my item, or the bar code reader can't read my barcode, I can put put my item in. I Love it!

Ff100 ,

Pretty good but still needs work

The food database is very good and the search engine is excellent. It allows to add new foods, which is a great feature. Also, for almost each food one can enter a custom portion weight or size. Packaged foods can be easily entered by scanning the bar code. Negatives: it does not track potassium or vitamins. It does not allow to enter a custom food recipe.

J & N 711 ,

The Best App Ever!!!

I think I have tried most Apps on weight loss. Fat Secret in my opinion is the best. Love the bar code.

Mad49 ,

Great App

This app is easy to use and has great tools. The bar code reader works consistently and has never "not found" an item. I especially like the option to add a new food I make at home and have it available for future use.


Great app - highly recommended

Ореста ,

Nice

Nice app.But please work on Ukrainian version.Thank you.

My cookie business ,

I really like it

Have used it for some time and think it is the best one. But now with the upgrade I can't get the bar code to work. It asked me once to access my camera had never asked that before and I said no and now the bar code feature does not work. Any suggestions.

Mapleleaf14 ,

STILL no sync w/HealthKit

This is the best app for what it does, but what in the world is taking so long for syncing with HealthKit?!? Also, the dates are still screwed up, even after the 10/7/14 update. It's always a day behind.

Melissastevensfrantz ,

With last update Bar Code Scanner no longer works

This is by far the best calorie counting app I have ever used allows you to log all aspects of fitness. However with this recent update in the last week or so I have lost use of the barcode scanner which is a real bummer since that was one of the best parts of this app. Please fix

Ozarksun ,

Great!

Easy to use. Great data base. Can adjust to your own RDI and diet. You can adjust list to count fiber or protein or carbs etc.

Love data base on restaurants. It really helps.

Occasionally have trouble with bar scan but can put in code by keyboard.

KayEmBee ,

4-13-15 Update Awful

The current update added as of April 13 2015 has rendered this app useless. It crashes and or times out in both the iPhone and iPad version. Come on guys. Simply Ridiculous!

Rakadityas ,

Can't search any Indonesian food from this app

After i downloaded the app, I can't even search any of Indonesian food from the app. But it's exist on the fatsecret.id.

Cj$10 ,

I love this app!

I love that this app is user-friendly. The feature where you only have to scan a barcode and it and 99.9% of the time always has the nutritional information stored is wonderful.if an item isn't already in the database, it's extremely easy to add an item. I really like the feature where it tracks your daily or weekly progress. And it calculates your calories for your needs whether you want to lose weight quickly slowly maintain your way eight and then it tells you how many calories you can eat per day.

Avidreader276570 ,

Excellent and Easy to make a daily habit

The food entry is really simple and the bar code reader really makes the phone app terrific. The only piece of info I'd like is the net calories between food intake and exercise,which you get on the website.

MJTwomey ,

Fantastic!

Amazing functionality. It actually makes counting calories (and mgs if sodium) easy and fun. Without being able to look up nutrition info based on restaurant names, brands, or bar code (which the app makes easy), I'm sure I'd never bother. The weight tracker is also great. (I wish I could view the weight graph and a calorie graph simultaneously.)

MishiRN ,

HATE the iPhone version!

Ok, I don't ever write reviews. In fact, this is my first. Let me start with a small disclaimer...I'm a tiiiiiny bit OCD, and probably more fanatical than most in journaling my daily exercise and caloric intake. With that said, I am so unbelievably disappointed with this app. I previously had a Droid, and I LOVED Calorie Counter...used it all day, everyday. At my biannual upgrade, I (against my better judgement) switched to the iPhone 4S, and the features and functionality of this app completely changed!

I use a digie scale, and weigh all of my food in ounces. In my prior version, I could log my food down to the tenth of an ounce; i.e. 2.7 oz. Alternatively, I would enter individual amounts, "12 pumpkin seeds." This may seem extreme, but I like routine, and it keeps me accountable. This new version only allows you to enter in increments of .25...no deviations, no custom entries! Also, I can't enter custom exercises, which really puts a cramp in my workouts!

At first I thought I could just deal and not be so anal, but it's actually caused me to completely fall off my health routine. For the 1st time in my 30 yrs, I've gained a noticeable amount of weight...I've been the same weight my entire adult life! So 'thin' in fact, my Italian family and my Southern MD all busted me for being "anorexic," lol! *I laugh bc I was a healthy 105lbs! They just LUV to eat carefree;)*

Once it became so difficult to track my foods, I finally caved and just stopped charting all together...I just noticed the correlation, hence my review. I know it's not solely responsible for my weight fluctuations, but it's definitely responsible for my lapse in maintenance. Anyway, suffice it to say...I'm browsing for a replacement app!

verdelaken ,

Like it

I downloaded this app for my iphone because I needed to track my protein intake. However, it tracks that as well as fat, carbohydrates, and overall calories which I have come to find useful as well. I have not had a problem with the bar code scanner. I've successfully scanned several items from Trader Joe's. I like the feature that helps you calculate how many calories per day to set as a goal to achieve your desired weight.


The database of foods is only accessible when your device is online but that isn't a problem for me personally, I just wait till i'm connected or wait till the end of the day to make an entry into my food diary.


Interface was a little confusing, but over the course of a week, I've come to learn it. There is an exercise tracker, but I have not used it yet.


Some suggestions...

Under each category of protein, fat and carbs, put the percentage that each comprises of total calories so that I can see where I need to increase or decrease to meet recommended percentages.

Add 1/3 and 2/3 portions. Sometimes 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 isn't useful.

I would pay to have this app also track micro nutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc) to really see how my diet is working for me.

Polly PnP ,

Bar code reader, decimals

I just started using the bar code reader and I love it! No, it doesn't read everything but it saves a lot of time when it does. Just make sure you hold your phone steady when using it.

I agree that we need to be able to use decimals on the iPhone, or at least have more fractions (1/3, 5/8, etc) - that capability is on the Blackberry, why not on the iPhone? Adding butter and oil are especially annoying as the serving size is a tablespoon; if you only use a teaspoon you have to enter either 1/4 Tbsp or 1/2 Tbsp - either one gives you a pretty big error if you're trying to track calories accurately.

jwill77nc2 ,

When it works it's great

I have been using Fatsecret both on the web and via this app for eight months. The app is very handy, especially for bar coding information from new foods. Unfortunately the bar code function has a tendency to lock up. Usually when this happens it will clear itself within a matter of minutes. Recently, however, it locked up and blocked me from using any functions in the app. It would not clear out even after more than 12 hours. I finally had to delete the app and then re-install it.

Sashilia ,

Bar code reader needs improvement.

Good app. Bar code reader is slow and shaky - need to use keyboard entry often.

Imverybrave ,

Glitchy

The scanner does not read; when I tried inputting the bar code, the screen then asks to type in the food but the numerical keypad stays there.

KiKi Daisy ,

Scanner

I love the app. It is easy to use and pretty quick to navigate. The search function is decent. My only complaint is the bar code scanner. It rarely scans anything. I end up punching in the bar code numbers.

First poster ,

Use to be a lot better

I use to use this app religiously back when it was called calorie counter and it helped me lose a lot of weight. I just redone loaded it, and I must say it has taken a turn for the worst. I love that you can find a more precise calorie count with the weight conversions available, but the GUI is less user friendly then it use to be. I also can't get the dam bar code scanner to scan anything any more.

Question please help! ,

Great app but

Great app but i think there should be an option to add the macros manually if there is no bar code to scan. The % of macros would be nice too... But not necessary... Other than that its a great app... I use everyday and love it...

Kamy7 ,

Good data base, but crappy bar code scanner

This app would be awesome if it had a better bar code scanner. I've used other calorie tracking apps that the scanner doesn't even have to focus the get the code. This one on the other hand is very finicky. You have to hold the scanner just perfectly to get it to work. Other than that, it's great. Very user friendly and has great restaurant information. If they fix the scanner, this app would be without equal

Kervie ,

pretty good but could be better

Edit: since the last update, the bar code scanner works great! Thanks for the fix. I am back to loving it! End of Edit. In general, a very good app. I have lost 25 lbs using it. I do have a few gripes:

Today, a totally inappropriate ad was displayed for Flirt - a "mobile dating app". The photo was almost pornographic: a young "lady" on all fours with her rear end pointed towards the camera. Her thong covered her up - but not by much.

As mentioned by others, the scanner crashes often. Prior to the last update, it worked great. Also, you can't enter the bar code # As a work-around (which you could do prior to the last update. The field to enter the # is still there - it just doesn't work.)

A little while ago, I was getting constant "network timed out" messages and I almost gave up using the app. It is somewhat better now.

Lastly, it would be nice to be able to enter calorie counts for certain homemade dishes and save it to the saved meals area.

In spite of all that, there are some great features that keep me as a user. Food lookup is simple and fast. Great exercise tracking. Fixing the above issues would make this a 5 star app.

Nunyrbusiness ,

So far it's an excellent app!

Edit: I am using this on my iPhone 4 and see that it crashes now and then but that isn't interfering with my using it everyday. I still love this app. End Edit. It is visually appealing and will no doubt help me watch what I eat. And the bar code reader is awesome. I would definitely recommend. It has everything you need! Thank you for such a fine app!

vanhornl ,

A lot of freezing and resets and the bar code scan doesn't work

I have been using this app off and on for awhile now and I think it has a lot of great features and is easy to use, when it doesn't reset, and the developers have made a lot of great improvements. However, they need to do a better job of quality testing before release. The bar code scanner is not working correctly for the itouch and you can't enter a bar code manually without going to the scanner function first, which would be fine except the application will not respond until I go out of the application and re-enter. Then, 85% of the time the app will reset. That being said, I like the features they are including, especially when they get the bugs worked out. I would like to ad my agreement with another user, it would be nice to be able to add a dish, set the serving size, and then be able to recall that dish specifying the serving size, or portion consumed at that time. One last suggestion, many of the dishes will not allow you to designate a small enough fractional portion. Example; if I have 1 and 1/3 cup serving, 1/3 is not available so I have to use 1/2 or 1/4, if a serving is 350 calories, that is a difference of 28 or so calories. Decimal size portion of a 1 serving size works great, then you can enter a decimal fraction of one serving.

Fat Radish ,

Pretty Good

I have an iPhone 4S. I have not had any issues using the barcode scanner, so far. I usually hold it so that the red line covers the entire bar code, after a couple of seconds of holding it still, it will focus and accept the bar code. I was also able to enter a new item's info easily after the item's bar code was not found in the system. (New diet soda variation.)


Been able to edit meals with more ease than on the website. Just wish it would show a full summary of the daily nutrient intake; sodium, vitamins, etc.


No crashes or lock ups so far either.

pinkchampagne91 ,

Great app for free

This is a really nice app considering it is all free and I have yet to see an ad. It is easy to add food and exercise on the go and synchs with the website. I also like that it breaks down your food by what meal you ate it for, it helps me realize if i skip meals.It could be a bit more comprehensive in the review of the food you eat, but it is free so I'm not complaining.

Teachertmb ,

Really great!

Bar code issue and ceasing issue MUCH better since recent update! Already lost 16.5 lbs using this app! The key is to save meals so you can add them easily. Also it helps me to plan what I'm gonna eat the day before so I don't impulse eat.


One thing- YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADD YOUR OWN RECIPES! That's the only reason it's a 4 star instead of 5.

Jenn2579 ,

Please fix the scanner

I love this app except the barcode scanner freezes and you can't type in te bar code number.

Golfer;) ,

Excellent

Excellent app but need to fix the bar code feature! Doesn't work

elizaj ,

Useless for cooks

If you cook anything more complicated than a boiled egg, this is not the app for you. There is no way to create a recipe and then divide it into portions. You can create a meal, but each element of the meal gets listed in your diary, and the total can't be portioned. The bar code scanner isn't great, either. This app needs a lot more work.

workoutnrockout ,

Updates Please!

I like this app. As u can tell by my rating. The only constructive criticism I have as of now is that it would be nice I have an easier "delete" option for the food diary. I was thinking of integrating the apple way of sliding across an entry and having the "delete" button come up.

Also the bar code scanner could be better.

And "favorite foods" option would be nice for entrees I constantly use. Not digging too much the way "mostly eaten" is set up.

That's all! Good app tho!

Upsdreamer ,

Works good so far

This program has alot of features.

Bar code scanner works for me.

wow_lance ,

Good one

This app is really helpful. Though I feel calorie per day is listed more than other apps... Love the huge food db...the camera capture is not working, but still can use code

GPE1167 ,

Bar Code Scanner

I am a very happy person today. The bar code scanner now works on my iPhone 4!!!

g5gmoney ,

Good, except for the scanning barcode.

I had this app installed on my Droid and it worked great.

However after downloading to my ipod the scanning barcode function has yet to capture a product.

I end up keying in the code.

Ever tried to cut your own hair and using a mirror for guidence but most time you get disoriented.

Well its just like that trying to center the camera onto the barcode.

Occasionally the app crashes when attempting to scan barcode Arrggghhhh!

Anne1952 ,

Great app and it's FREE!!

I really like this app and it's super easy to use. I would make it a 5 if there was a place to track water, enter your own food (if the bar code didn't recognize something, etc) and if the saved foods didn't save which meal it went to. But overall, amazing!!

Rondee19 ,

Gray app with a few glitches

Great app with a few issues. I used to be able to change my RDI to whatever I wanted and now it's pre-calculated. The bar code scanner is a great tool but 1/2 the time I go to use it, the app closes (a little frustrating). Otherwise I have had this app on both my I-phone and my droid and it has been a great tool for tracking my nutrition and excersize.

xcrcr ,

Great app!

It does occasionally crash, but loads fast. Bar code key pad is hard to load. Overall very useful and easy to use and understand. The restaurant/ fast food info is wonderful if you eat out a lot and want to be healthier.

Shrinking by the minute!!

I LUV LUV LUV this app!! Can't believe it's FREE!! It helps me stay accountable for everything I eat! My only two complaints is that for one it calculates everything under the sun but DOES NOT allow you the option to track points : (. I follow Weight Watchers so that small glitch is critical. Also the bar code scanner is VERY slow and generally cuts off / crashes before logging the UPC code . Other than that this app is fantastic! It has nearly every restaurant imaginable NOT just fast food chains PLUS it has every food you can think of on the market and even shows you a photo just incase you are fearful you may be logging the wrong food TWO THUMBS WAYYYY UP!!!

Excellent! So easy!

I usually abhor keeping track of my calories, but this App, and the online version (they stay synchronized!!!) ate fantastic. The database seems pretty huge and if a food is not in it, you can add your own by scanning the bar code (sooooo easy) or by entering the data manually. I love it.

Great app

I've tried a few others and this one has more accurate nutritional values. When you. scan a UPC code it should be correct. Other paid programs have been wrong

Somthings missing...

Where is the option to take a pic of the bar code? A friend has it on their verizon droid.

thank-you!

the bar code scanner is great! Makes the whole process of entering food into the diary quick and painless.


I am so happy to see that the nutrients are sub totaled for each meal and snacks. This was missing in other programs I have tried I


I just started exploring the online web site and it looks interesting.

One of the best

I've been looking at all of the descriptions and features of similar apps (Free and with a cost), and this one has by far the most features. It is also easy to use and you can even "SCAN" the bar code of an item to upload the nutrition information for that item. It is a great app. You need however to have a little patience when using it because occasionally you get a message stating "network not available" and you have to try your operation again. Calories burned per activity seem pretty accurate according to your weight, height and daily activity level. I would recommend this app...PLUS it is free, so you have nothing to loose :)

No longer a secret ,

Big mistake

Was the best, I told anyone who would listen about it... Updates ruined it. No more points, WTF? Won't be on my list for long. I will have to find something else. Very disappointing

Got Lucky with WW update

As everyone has said, in recent posts, this app is no longer a 5-star app since the update. I got lucky and updated via the iphone and noticed the weight watchers points were gone. so i deleted it from the phone and hooked up to itunes, where the older version was then put back on my iphone. now I will always have that red circled "1" next to my apps icon but it is more than worth it!

The app is still really good for tracking your diet. It still has a ton of name brand foods and restaurants and such and still has the bar code scanner. It has everything the weight watchers app is lacking - except the points. Though, it can work well in conjunction with the WW app. That WW app is very limited and this one can provide you with the calories, fat and dietary fiber you need to add something to WW. Sort of let this one do all of the leg work.

If you need a great tracker and aren't on weight watchers, then this is definitely the best out there and is worth 5-stars. If you are watching WW points, then this is still a good choice, just not as great as it was.

My guess is WW had a bit of a fit that these guys were providing people with their points for free. WW charge's monthly. If WW was smart, they'd buy this app and make it theirs or at least hire this developer to make their 2-star app better. Just my opinion.

barcode scanner still not working on the iPhone4

Verified that the latest update fixed the issues on a iPhone 3GS, but my iPhone4 (4.0.1 IOS) still doesn't work with bar code scanning. Tried all kinds of barcodes, at various angles, in various lighting conditions, with no success. Hoping it's just a quirk with the iPhone4 hardware.

Not bad

It would be nice if you guys would add some vegetarian recipes

Only decent app for tracking macros

None of the other calorie trackers make it as easy to track grams of fat, carbs, and protein as this one.


Really hope they integrate with HealthKit soon
